eServices for Kids
BookFLIX pairs classic video storybooks with nonfiction eBooks to build a love of reading and learning. A “read-along” option provides word-by-word highlighting so children can follow along as the fiction video is narrated and the nonfiction ebook is read aloud. Narrated text and definitions of key vocabulary words to support beginning and reluctant readers, as well as English Language Learners.  Particulary good for grades PreK - 3.

 

 

Tumblebooks are eBooks for kids.  Listen to and view books on your home computer!
 

 

Gale's Virtual Reference Library provides homework help! Search valid sources including Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia, American Decades, Countries and Their Cultures, Worldmark Encyclopedia of the Nations and the States. Have your library card ready.
