For students who speak Spanish, Enciclopedia Estudiantil Hallazgos includes full-text articles in Spanish on people, places, history, science, and more. It includes activities and science projects, as well as Spanish language newspapers.
For students who speak or are studying Arabic, Kids eLearn: التعلم للصغار is a general reference tool that has articles, photos, and videos. It also has games to practice concepts in math, science, and geography.
