Facts For Learning is a true breakthrough in education for schools, libraries, students, teachers and parents. It teaches your students research skills using the sources they already use and enjoy, like Weekly Reader Classroom magazines, Issues & Controversies On File, The World Almanac and Book of Facts and The World Almanac for Kids. The Facts For Learning Elementary School Module teaches younger students how to ask questions, use core reference resources, understand indexes, choose research topics, search online, and read charts and graphs. The Facts For Learning Middle School Module also provides core reference content for middle school students
of all levels. The more sophisticated interface and subject matter respect their abilities, but still deliver content
written for students in grades 5-8. |
