We are pleased to share that the widely-used, school-based news service Newsela has adapted five of the Zinn Education Project’s people’s history texts for students reading at elementary and middle school levels.
Educators can now access — for free — these select articles at the original high school level plus four reading levels, ranging from 3rd to 9th grade.
Scroll down to find the five adapted articles and their original forms, plus an adapted Washington Post column by Courtland Milloy that features our materials and their impact.
