Elementary

Gale In Context: Elementary offers elementary children a safe place to find answers to their questions, practice research skills, and explore a broad range of subjects like animals, geography, science and more—all in one place.

Encourage Student Curiosity
Rich visuals enhance learning and exploration. “I Wonder . . . ” questions, fun facts, and a visual topic tree encourage learners to explore freely and select topics that appeal to them. The “I Wonder . . . ” question is updated daily and located on the home page to encourage inquisitiveness.

Access Trusted, Age-Appropriate Content
Students can learn at a comfortable pace as they move through periodicals, videos, and more to find information that draws them into any topic during elementary learning. The involved material matches to elementary-level curricula and comes from reliable publishers, like Encyclopædia Britannica, Blackbirch Press, Youngzine, and more.

Introduce Proper Research Skills
Teachers can use this dynamic tool to enhance instruction and encourage engagement throughout elementary learning. Organized topic pages, citation tools, leveled subject matter, and a simplified interface create the ideal environment to introduce young pupils to research with appropriate guidance.

Find Content All in One Place
Children learn best when there are fewer barriers to learning. That’s why this database is designed to match how kids naturally navigate online. To make cross-searching across Gale resources easier and better accommodate all types of elementary learning, we’ve included a Books tab on the home page that connects students directly to subscribed K–5 eBooks from Gale for uninterrupted access to elementary school academic tools. eBooks are displayed in a simplified reader, which makes it easy for students to read and explore.

Users with access to both Gale Presents: National Geographic Kids and Gale In Context: Elementary receive all content directly within the experience of K-5. The integrated materials provide the power of National Geographic and the simplified interface of Elementary to increase engagement with age-appropriate eBooks, “I Wonder…” questions, topic trees, topic pages, images, and videos.
