[CASL-L] Need Pro/Con Database for Lower Level Readers

[Juliann T. Moskowitz]

We use SIRS and also Issues and Controversies by Facts on File. It's very good. You can't search by grade level but the entire database is made for grades 8-12. If you have students at a lower reading level they can select the "read aloud" option and have it read to them since auditory comprehension exceeds reading comprehension.

Subject: [CASL-L] Need Pro/Con Database for Lower Level Readers

Hi Friends,

We may be looking to move away from SIRS Discoverer, and we are wondering if someone uses a database that has the same set up as Discoverer (background article and pro/con articles for each issue) and one that is searchable by reading level.

Thanks,

Monica
