How to help your child with RESEARCH.

It is important that students learn how to find and use information.  At times students will have research projects they will need to do at home.  

There are many great tools for students on the Students Page.  On this page are links to online research tools, how to use reference materials videos, and a video on citing sources.   

How to help your child find great books to READ.

Finding things to read can be easy.  When reading for pleasure, do not worry about levels.  If kids want to read a book, they will find a way.  Set aside time to read together each day.  So where can you find great books?
