Bartleby.com 

This site is loaded. It includes the Columbia Encyclopedia, American Heritage Dictionary, Roget's Thesaurus, and Bartlett's Famous Quotations.

edHelper.com 

If you need help getting up to speed, this site is excellent. It covers reading, math, science and much more. Much of edHelper appears aimed at younger children. But there's a lot here for older kids, too.

Encarta

This is Microsoft's encyclopedia, developed from the old Funk & Wagnalls, Collier's and the New Merit Scholar's. This is the abbreviated version. The full experience costs $30 per year. Still, there's a lot here that's free.

TheFreeDictionary

Need to look up a word? You're at the right place! It has the American Heritage Dictionary. It also has computing, medical, legal, and financial dictionaries. There are other reference works here, too. Nearly all of it is free.

The Free Library

This site has access to more than 3 million articles, journals and books. The range of topics is all-encompassing.

Infoplease

This site's slogan is "All the knowledge you need." It has a bunch of almanacs—World & News, United States, History & Government, Biography and so on. It also features the Columbia Encyclopedia.

The Internet Public Library 

Another site with much of the information found at physical libraries. The nice lady will answer questions, but she takes up to three days. It is hosted by the Drexel University's College of Information Science & Technology.

Safe Search Sites for Kids     Back to top
Yahoo! Kids  This site contains movies, games and educational content. It also has a kid-friendly search. A real person has checked every site that appears in search results. There is also a Study section for finding help with homework.
Ask for Kids  This site lets children search using more than keywords. They can ask questions to refine the results. They can ask things like, “When did Hawaii becomes a state?” It will return a quick answer, as well as search results. And those results are handpicked by editors.
KidsClick!  Librarians choose the search results here. They select sites for children in grades K-7. Your kids can browse through specific categories like art, math and computers. Or they can search for whatever they want. Controversial topics (sex, religion, etc.) are included in search results. These sites are allowed only if they are educational and age-appropriate.
ThinkQuest Library Oracle, the database company, holds an annual competition called ThinkQuest. Students, ages 9-19, create and enter educational Web sites. These sites cover a variety of topics, including sports, geography and history. The Library allows kids to search through all of these student-created sites. Some are cool. They might inspire your kids to enter the contest.
KOL  This is AOL’s site for kids. It has articles, games, videos and music. Kids can search the Web through a moderated version of AOL’s search. It returns kid-friendly results. There is also a homework help section and message board for kids. If you have very young children, check the Jr. section. It’s designed for preschoolers.
Pics4Learning  This search site contains only pictures. Teachers, students and amateur photographers donate them. The photos are copyrighted. But t any student or teacher can use them for free. There are pictures on almost any topic. It’s a great resource for school presentations.
SearchEdu  This site uses Google to search for sites with the “.edu” address. That means results are all educational institutions, mostly colleges. These sites are often created for adult students. As such, they may contain adult content. But it is usually educational. This search is great for finding help with homework.
Fact Monster  This is another homework site. It is filled with facts and articles on various topics. Children can only search within the site. They’ll also get results for encyclopedia entries, timelines and biographies.
