ELI Websites

This is an interesting website, dedicated to providing news articles to teachers / students at various reading levels. The lowest reading level I could do was "4", which is probably good for Level 3 with support. You do have to register, but it's free to join. Once you set up a class (I did "test class", grade 3), you'll be directed to articles at that reading level. Good way to add some extra non-fiction reading to your classes, especially if you're looking for timely, easier-to-access reading than found in your textbooks.
