Research- How Kids can Research by Reading Level

Sunday, December 28, 2014


Hi Literacy Land Friends!  Before Christmas Break, we were doing some research to help us write our All About Books.  I have a tip to share with you today.  While doing our research, we talked about where we can find information and of course the internet is a great way to go.  However, the material that the students have to read is just way too difficult for my first graders.  I am here to show you a way to help with that problem.  Is it full proof?  No- but it is a start.


Here some easy steps to follow.

Step 1:  Go to www.google.com

Step 2:  Type in the topic that you want to search.


Step 3:  Click on Search Tools and then tab that says All Results and go to Reading Level.


Step 4:  Click on the reading level that you want.  For my first graders, I would click on Basic.

Step 5:  The posts that will come up at the top will be the easiest to read and most kid-friendly. 

I searched Bats and I got websites such as:
Bats for Kids
National Geographic
Animal Discovery
It at least makes research a little easier:)
