What Newsela doesn't offer — reading comprehension quizzes from your own texts, in any language
Newsela is great for leveled English reading with pre-written comprehension questions. But language teachers need comprehension quizzes from their own texts — JLPT reading passages, TOCFL graded readers, Spanish newspaper articles, or materials they've written themselves. Quizzz generates those quizzes in seconds, without student accounts.

Why Language Teachers Look for a Newsela Alternative
Newsela's reading content is mostly English with limited Spanish, doesn't support Japanese or Chinese texts, offers no teacher-generated passage support, requires student accounts and LMS integration, and comes with per-student subscription costs — none of which works for most language classrooms.
What Quizzz Does That Newsela Doesn't
Quizzz generates reading comprehension quizzes from any text you paste — in any language. JLPT reading practice passages, TOCFL graded reader excerpts, Spanish newspaper articles, your own created texts. AI generates inference, vocabulary-in-context, and main-idea questions instantly.
