When teachers incorporate challenging but accessible Vocabulary words in their daily instruction, they create a contextual environment for students to practice, apply, and grow their Vocabulary knowledge.

See how Newsela provides texts at adaptive reading levels, which allows learners to read content that is interesting to them with Vocabulary that is accessible to them. Additionally, through their Power Words feature, high-frequency and high-utility words are highlighted within the articles, allowing learners to remember or reference their definitions in context.
