Hello,

 

I am seeking databases or different websites that offer variable reading levels of science articles (particularly GMOs).  I use Newsela often but wonder if there are other options available.  I am finding that most database science articles are geared towards the high school level.  My audience is middle school students with varied reading levels. 

 

Any suggestions for this new librarian? 

 

Regards,
