[CASL-L] Best Search Engines for 3-5?

[Barbara Johnson]

I would second the use of Pebblego and next.

I would also say to check out News-o-matic, they were at AASL and are a
strong competitor with NewsELA, for less money

Remember, Explora available through the CT State Library,
www.researchitct.org

And worldbook online is also an adorable item ...
