That was exactly my concern - I mentioned that to the teacher who asked
about it.

Hi - is anyone using Newsela? Our middle school science team is interested
in it; I'm surprised at how little information they provide about how their
content is rewritten, how the stories are chosen, what content biases they
may or may not have. They've got some great partnerships and supporters.



Thanks - Cathy
