Kid-Friendly Search Engines

With so many projects and so little time, the internet is a wonderful tool to use for fact finding.

There is so much information out there just waiting to be found with one small problem, some of the content that pops up it's exactly what your student is looking for, nor is it what you want them to see. Luckily, there are some great kid-friendly search engines and I have listed them below for you:

Quintura Kids - This is a great site for 6th grade and up

KidsClick! - This site provides over 600 subject areas and it provides the reading level for its material

Little Explorers Dictionary- Also called Enchanted Learning, this site provides great information with easy to read text for grades 2 and up.

Ask For Kids - Super site where you can filter the information by kids, teens, or advanced teen. This site is from the makers of Ask Jeeves.

All of the links that are posted above are hot-links, meaning you should be able to click on the blue words and it will take you directly to the site.

I hope that the next time your child comes home and says, "Mom and Dad, I have to find out some stuff about The Revolutionary War. . . . by tomorrow. " You will have a wealth of knowledge at your finger tips.
