Text Sets and Collections
Text Sets and Collections are two ways that you’ll see articles organized on Newsela. Certain text sets and collections are affiliated with Newsela subscription types, such as Newsela Social Studies, and cannot be viewed or shared with other subscription types.
Text Sets: Groups of articles that share a common theme. You can create your own Text Sets or explore Text Sets created by other teachers and by Newsela editors.
Collections: Curriculum resources that contain content and instructional materials aligned to the scope and sequence for a subject, that have been purchased for your school or district.
