The Big Yellow Umbrella - A Reference Page Just for Kids!

Welcome to my digital library for kids! I wanted to help kids your age find information a little faster. These sites are really cool and will help you learn how to search and do a great job on your paper or homework.

It's hard when you're just learning how to get good information for your report or your homework. There are sites for kids in kindergarten all the way through 6th grade. The six sites listed go from easier to a little more challenging. You'll find written information plus pictures, videos and audio clips too! All the information you need is right here under the big yellow umbrella! Go for it!

This digital library for children's reference sites has been built as a project for the Southern Connecticut State University Digital Library class. This class is taught by Dr. Yan Quan Liu and this site has been created by Mary Coyle in class 655 for educational purposes only.
