Capstone Digital Unveils New Research and Reading Solution for K-3
Minneapolis, MN, May 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Continuing with its focus to strengthen emergent readers’ literacy and research skills, Capstone Digital has unveiled its newest database PebbleGo Earth and Space. Designed for students in grades pre-K-3, PebbleGo Earth and Space supports the core concepts of earth science, space, seasons, and weather, and is correlated to state and national science standards.
PebbleGo Earth and Space employs reading scaffolding strategies to make science accessible and enjoyable for young students. The features of the database include expertly leveled text that is fully narrated, glossary words, visual searching, educational videos and games, encompassing activities which teach students how to cite articles, create reports, and share what they’ve learned.
“Our PebbleGo Animals database received an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from educators because there is a real need for research and reading solutions for the youngest learners,” said Todd Brekhus, President of Capstone Digital. “We’re excited to build on the success of PebbleGo Animals and expand into curriculum concepts with PebbleGo Earth and Space. With the activities and educational supports our database offers, we’re confident readers will have fun learning the fundamental skills of reading and research.”
PebbleGo Earth and Space is available over the Internet 24/7 as an annual subscription for use at school or home for enrolled students. For a free demonstration of PebbleGo Earth and Space, visit www.PebbleGo.com.
The award-winning and positively-reviewed PebbleGo Animals launched in April 2009 and was the first database of its kind featuring text specifically leveled for a K-2 student. Reviewers gave the database 5-stars (MultiMedia & Internet @ Schools), an A+ (School Library Journal), a starred review (Library Media Connection), and named it one of the 2009 “Top 20 Best Bets for Student Researchers” (Booklist). PebbleGo Animals also won the 2010 Teachers’ Choice Awards for the Classroom (Learning Magazine) and was recently named a finalist of the 2010 Distinguished Achievement Award (Association of Educational Publishers).
