Kids InfoBits is one of the AVL's best resources for elementary level students. VERY visual, it's one of the best picks for younger students. They can browse each category according to their unique interests OR they can use the search feature to locate information about a specific topic.
One of the neatest categories is "Stories & Literature." When students access this category, they can then choose from a variety of literature-related sub-categories.
*We have recently been told that the new ARMT+ standardized test will measure higher, more rigorous standards in regard to literacy. Poetry is one item that we can hone in on, and this section of the Kids InfoBits database can help with that! Please be sure to share this database with the classroom teachers in your building who will be focusing on poetry this year.
If you choose the sub-category of "Reading, Writing, & Language," you can see that there is an abundance of resources available to support literacy, and the instruction of English Learners.
Kids InfoBits is also really useful as a safe, ad-free dictionary tool!
