Newsela is a new kid on the block (in Beta). It's free (so far). It allows teachers to create classes (upon signing up as a teacher one will get a "classcode"), and students can join the classes created.
Lessons are based on news articles and one can select different reading levels (lexile based).
Quizzes can be attached to news articles, and there is a "gradebook" management tool available (linked to Common Core standards)

Class/Student management[/caption]Best is to try this out, and see if you like it. This startup company has hit the press a lot already, and funding is secured. Free for now, that might change later (you know that pattern)
