Where can I find a dictionary, encyclopedia & image search engine all-in-one, designed especially for primary & lower secondary school kids?

EBSCOHost Kids Search combines all three features in its search engine & has a colourful & friendly layout that makes doing research fun! There are many topics to choose from and it can be used to help you with your schoolwork or gather information about the subjects of your interest.

There are lots of exciting features on EBSCOHost Kids Search & one of my favourites would be the Folder feature. I can add my search results, images or links to a personal Folder which makes gathering information easier. As a visual learner, I also appreciate how there are many pictures and cartoon images to look at on this search engine. Besides articles, I can also search for videos as well as photos, maps & flags to store or print.

Find out what else you can do on EBSCOHost Kids Search by clicking on the user guide link below:
