My thirteen year old son and I were going over his homework last night, and he said that he doesn't like looking things up online, and that it takes, forever! I hope you know where this conversation went!
I explained to him that when I was in school, we didn't have computers or to look things up on. That we had to hope that our parents or neighbors had a set of encyclopedias or other books that we could use to research information. Or, we had to go to the library in our town. The school library didn't always have what we needed when it came to history papers, book reports, and more.
I tried explaining to him how easy he has it. He can just go to a search engine, like google or bing, and type in what ever he's looking for, and usually he can find it within a few seconds or so. That we had to read to find the answers. And that with a search engine, he can type in a question, and BOOM, up pops the answer he's looking for! How lucky is he!
These National Geographic books will make a great addition to every child's library this holiday season!
We also have some National Geographic books, books on animals, books for reading, and more. These have helped with all sorts of school papers and projects. Here are three reference titles that are home learning essentials, crafted by the experts at National Geographic:
