Need some homework help? Are you looking for videos or articles to use for a report? Kids Search from EBSCO can help! Kids Search makes it easy for students to search by keyword or by topic to find the most useful search results. Results can be easily sorted by source type - magazines, reference books, photos, flags, etc. Popular magazines such as Scholastic and Time for Kids can be found here. The presentation of topics arranged by middle school subjects help students find just what they need for assignments. Lexile reading levels appear for most articles. Teachers have a special section on the site, too, with links to curriculum standards and the education department websites for each of the 50 states. Results can be printed, e-mailed or saved to either your personal folder on the website or your computer. Provided as part of Wisconsin's BadgerLink program.

The website also includes a dictionary (The American Heritage Children's Dictionary) and encyclopedia (The Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia) to help students get their homework done more easily. Teachers have a special section on the site, too, with links to curriculum standards and the education department websites for each of the 50 states. Lexile reading levels appear for most articles.
