Is California's proposed billionaire tax smart policy? History holds lessons
Every school day from mid-August to mid-June, we offer two engaging lessons across different reading levels, sourcing articles from major news outlets.
Our goal is to spark critical thinking and meaningful debate. We intentionally select content that challenges perspectives and encourages students to think deeply. Featuring an article doesn't mean we agree with its viewpoint.
The questions are essential–without them, an article is just text. Our carefully designed questions transform reading into an active learning experience that promotes independent thought and critical thinking of the world around them.
To take even more advantage of this resource, sign up for our daily Current Events reminder emails. These reminder emails provide you with the headlines and a short introduction for both articles with links directly to them.

Readability scales use factors like number of syllables per word and average length of sentences and paragraphs to estimate how easy (or difficult) a piece is to read. The score is often expressed as a grade level.
Example: A score of ~13+ suggests the text may require more than the average high school education to read comfortably, while a ~6–7 score is typically much easier.
We include readability scores to help teachers select materials appropriate for their students. Learn more on Wikipedia, or try the same system we use at readability-score.com.
