5 Reading A-Z
(Knowledge Hub)
Reading A-Z provides educators with a large collection of developmentally appropriate reading books spread over 27 levels of difficulty. The books have been
written to strict leveling criteria and then further analyzed using software that rates each book using more than 20 factors of difficulty. The Leveled Books use
natural language in meaningful contexts at the early levels. They make repeated use of high-frequency words. The graduated difficulty of each level ensures
that the reader is receiving his or her instruction with materials that adequately challenge without causing frustration.
Reading A-Z allows teachers to download as many copies as necessary to meet their leveled reading needs. Because teachers can download and assemble
books for pennies apiece, students can keep the books and take them home for repeated reading. Each book is accompanied by a lesson built along the
leveled reading conventions of strategy instruction before, during, and after reading.
Each Leveled Book includes a quiz that covers literal, inferential, and critical/creative thinking questions. Reading A-Z provides two benchmarks books and
running records for each reading level. These observational records of reading behavior allow a teacher to monitor student progress and guide instruction
with developmentally appropriate materials.

9 Kidsinfobits (Library) Kids InfoBits is like having two databases in one to serve the diverse needs of two groups of young students those in
kindergarten through grade two and the more research-savvy students in grades three through five.
Younger students often can't narrow their topic to a single word or phrase; or, if they can, may have trouble spelling it. Kids
InfoBits addresses this from the first screen with a lively, icon-rich topic tree that enables children to click on it and drill down
from a broad topic to a narrowly-focused one. Not only does this simplify research, it also helps students visualize the research
process.
Upper elementary students may opt for the subject search functionality of Kids InfoBits. After they enter a keyword or phrase
they access the results page that tabulates the information they need by source type from the following:
Reference
Magazines
Newspapers
Maps, Flags and Seals
Charts and Graphs
Images
Kids InfoBits meets the needs of young students with simple, quick access to curriculum-related information on current events,
arts, sciences, health, people, government, sports, history and more.
