Need language arts and math enrichment and remedial support for your students?
eLibrary content provides the most comprehensive collection of media types available to K-12 teachers and students. Included in these resources are more than 150,000 Editor's Choice websites.
Many of these sites provide tutorials, puzzles, and games in English Language Arts and in Mathematics. Access to supplemental resources for teachers in these skills areas is very important because state testing indicates that a majority of students have deficiencies in these curriculum areas. These same deficiencies are confirmed by colleges that presently are requiring more than one-third of freshman students to take remedial courses in these skills areas.
Activity #1: Teachers can create custom BookCarts that collect the best of these skill-enhancing website resources for their students to use in school or at home.
Teachers can also create QuizCarts that students can use to demonstrate their knowledge. These quizzes are automatically scored when sent to the teacher's email address included in the quiz.
- Access the eLibrary or eLibrary CE Teacher Edition
- Click the Topics tab > Mathematics > Tutorials, Practice, and Games
- Under Mathematics, click Tutorials, Practice, and Games
- Note the links to activities and tutorial resources for Mathematics
- Click the Back button on your browser to return to all Topics categories
- Click English Language Arts

You now have a better idea of resources that can help students when selected appropriately by teachers and collected into a BookCart to save time for students.
Create a BookCart using the resources from the review of English Language Arts or Math best suited for your students; add a QuizCart to include a brief assessment of new knowledge students are expected to gain from our BookCart resources.
