What's It About?

Created and maintained by an education professional and expert in social studies, SOCIALSTUDIESFORKIDS.COM offers original articles and games on geography, maps, economics, the alphabet, and more to challenge your brain cells. Some offer tutorials, and there's a handy glossary, too, arranged by historical event. You'll also find information about current events such as Black History Month and the Olympics. Some topics are missing overview articles, relying instead on a carefully chosen selection of links to other resources around the Web. Don't miss the book review section, where you'll find lively commentary on all kinds of titles for kids.
