REVIEW:
Although the Cobblestone Publishing Company site features information about its educational publications, it also offers some free-standing resources for teachers and librarians. The Kids page presents activities such as Making Corn Grow, ABCs on the Double, and Rivers of the World; quizzes on U.S. and world history; free articles and contests; and ideas for having your work published at Cobblestone. Teachers will find guides for using the publications in the classroom, suggestions for teaching a wide variety of topics that include links to related sites, and reading skills and comprehension questions. Included are correlations to Massachusetts, Texas, and California social studies curriculum standards.
