https://newsela.com/ This is a great site for nonfictional texts on a wide variety of subjects including social studies, science, politics, and literature. Each text is written at four different reading levels so low-level to advanced students can use this material. Some of the stories contain quizzes or writing assignments. The high school equivalency test emphasizes nonfictional texts so this is a good resource for students and tutors.
