K-8 students around the country can now read hundreds of articles written by some of today’s top journalists through a new collaboration between ReadWorks,the free, research-based Common Core-aligned program, and Narratively, a platform devoted to original, in-depth and untold stories.
By back-to-school 2013-2014, ReadWorks will feature more than 900 articles developed by the journalists at Narratively. The articles are written by reporters who have worked for top media organizations, such as The New York Times, New York magazine, CNN, NPR, MediaStorm, The New Yorker and the BBC. Half of the Narratively articles on ReadWorks will align to the recently released Next Generation Science Standards, with the other half representing essential social studies topics, original fiction and original reporting.
