Words Matter Most

Newsela is an education technology startup dedicated to transforming the way learners access the world through words. The founding team members combine powerful technological know-how with real-world experience earned in the classroom, the newsroom, and the boardroom. Launched in June 2013, Newsela publishes high-interest news articles daily at five levels of complexity for grades 2-12 using Newsela's proprietary, rapid text-leveling process. Common Core-aligned quizzes attached to articles give educators and parents insight into their students' reading strengths and weaknesses. Newsela develops nonfiction fluency and critical-thinking skills necessary to master the Common Core standards for informational text. Contact us at readbabyread@newsela.com.

Words are my trade. Had I been born in an earlier time, I would have been an ink-stained wretch at a daily or a weekly. Luckily, I had good timing and started my career just as digital media was entering its adolescence and have been able to grow up along with it. With a background in reporting, editing, content development and content marketing, I've taken what I've learned and used it to develop teams and processes to produce compelling material that engages readers.
