How I Use It

"Top facts" sections breaks information into smaller chunks for younger readers. Wish there was a way to have text read out loud to students to lend comprehension support. I really appreciate how frequently this site is updated.

My Take

Beautiful photographs and videos are paired with up to date factual information about wildlife around the world.Teaching resources are available for different age groups from the Arkive Education link.This is a great database for visually stunning imagery that can be used in student projects.Detailed "fact files" offer additional information for older students.Printable factsheets are available which include references, glossary and suggestions for further learning.
