MIDDLE SCHOOL LIBRARY Britannica School

Our Middle School students in grades 6-8 will have multiple resources for their academic work when they will need to do research or check for more information on a topic. Like all of our students in 1st-12th grade they will be able to use Britannica School as one of their library tools.

Everyone knows the name Britannica and how it is respected as a “go to” resource. Students’ easy login will provide them quick access to all of the features of Britannica School. Some of those features include allowing them to adjust the reading level of a topic and the text-to-speech option. Other features will make their experience with Britannica School an easy one.

As writing continues to increase through the secondary grade levels, students continue to develop their library skills as they progress through middle school.
