For the Librarian
School and public libraries have quickly become sophisticated digital-learning environments offering equal opportunities for achievement to all students regardless of their socioeconomic or education level. As we transition to a digital learning environment, the role of the librarian is more crucial than ever.
Scholastic’s digital resources help librarians:
• Provide digital resources aligned with the Common Core
• Support teachers as they integrate digital content into lessons and model how to effectively use technology in the classroom
• Recommend digital technology and demonstrate how to use it
For the Teacher
Perfect for flipped classrooms, Scholastic Library Publishing’s digital resources offer thousands of opportunities for students to explore topics on their own. Having students explore a topic at home—whether reviewing an article, watching a video, or closely reading a primary source document—lets students come to class ready to engage in discussions and participate in thought-provoking activities facilitated by their teacher.
At school, teachers can support learning with:
• Lesson plans
• Project ideas
• Quizzes and activities
• Weblinks for related content discussions
• Primary sources
For the Student
In order for anyone to build their knowledge they must have access to authentic, verified, and age-appropriate information. When it comes to content, no other digital resources provide more.
Compelling content is blended with crucial online support tools to help students better comprehend and analyze the core-content areas including:
• Text features throughout articles allow students to quickly identify the information they’re seeking
• Automatic word look-up to help build vocabulary in context
• Read aloud feature to support struggling readers and ELL students
