If you have a report coming up related to a holiday, famous person or historical event, consult the KidsPoint website for help. Homework Help Articles include topics like Pearl Harbor, Salem Village Witchcraft Trials, Lewis and Clark, the Olympics and more. The Holidays pages feature information and activities for students studying everything from Dia de Muertos to Earth Day.
Wondering what to read? The Kidspoint book reviews are written by both staff and students so you get not only librarian recommendations but also tips from kids like you! If you have a favorite book or author and you want more like it, select Book Match for a recommendation just for you. Author Profiles provide information about some of your favorites including Avi, Katherine Paterson, J.K. Rowling, Gary Soto, Shel Silverstein, Jan Brett, Beverly Cleary and Tomie dePaola.
Since this site is for Central Rappahannock, Virginia library patrons there are services, like live reference help and book requests, that won’t work for someone who doesn’t hold a library card from this system. There are so many great lists and references, however, that the site makes a great resource for any student who might be working on a report or who is interested in reading.
Teachers: don’t miss the Teacher’s Place for lessons and resources to help in your classroom.
