Discover Tools for Young Researchers!


Hey Reader!

As the school year winds down, I’m noticing lots of classrooms diving into research projects. But for our youngest learners, traditional search engines can quickly become overwhelming and hard to navigate.

To support their curiosity (and save you time), I’ve put together a short list of kid-friendly research support websites. These sites are either designed specifically for children or include safe, easy-to-use search features that make research more accessible for early learners.

Kid-Friendly Research Tools to Explore:
🔍 Kiddlehttps://www.kiddle.co/
💭 Wonderopolishttps://wonderopolis.org/
🧠 WolframAlphahttps://www.wolframalpha.com/
🌍 National Geographic Kidshttps://kids.nationalgeographic.com/(especially great for animal research!)

🎥 Want to see how these tools work in action?
Check out this quick video where I walk through the first three websites. It’ll help you decide which ones might be the best fit for your classroom!
