Resource #2 - PebbleGo!

Underhill School is fortunate to have several subscription resources when it comes to providing differentiation for our students. I will highlight a few of these my next series of posts.

Ask your librarian for User Name and Password

Finally ... a research resource that is accessible for younger students! Pebble Go is carefully designed to present high interest information in a format that emergent readers will find easy to understand. This allows them to answer their questions, find information and discover facts from a reliable source, and see that citations are given - all the marks of good research.

Features include:

  •  videos for engaging students, and you can 

    • click on any selection to hear it read aloud

      • games and voting (poll) options

        • article of the day

          • educator resources

Underhill School subscribes to this database, so please check it out and let me know what you think.  Better yet, begin using it in your classroom to help your students practice elementary research skills.
