[ISLMA-Share] Sports and Health websites at middle school level

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Dear Kori,

You could try Newsela. It has articles on sports and health. You can adjust
the reading level of the articles and you can create sets of related
articles. Each article has a quiz, if you need documentation of completion.
Accounts are free. You can set up class rosters. Here's the link:

Hope this is helpful,
