Databases for your children and you!

Happy New Year. As students visit the library this week, they are being introduced to different databases to which the Bellevue School District subscribes. All of these databases are linked on this blog and on the Bennett PTSA website, and all need log-ins and passwords. Your child will bring home a lime green information card this week with a link to the library catalog on one side and password information on the other. Primary students will enjoy PebbleGo and TumbleBooks- both sites that will read aloud while highlighting the text. PebbleGo has all nonfiction books while TumbleBooks has picture books.

Worldbook Online has translation and read aloud features that make researching easier for struggling readers or English language Learners.

CultureGrams is loaded with information on the countries of the world, the US states, and Canadian provinces. I'm a big fan of the recipe index.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you'd like help with any of our databases.
