Earlier this month, Gale added<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>The
Britannica Elementary Collection</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>to Kids InfoBits. This is a collection of 3,869 Britannica articles written for students in grades 3 to 6. The articles cover a wide variety of subjects, including animals, sports,
science, history, key figures, literature, technology, countries, government, and more. Cited as<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Britannica Student Encyclopedia: An A to Z Encyclopedia</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>(2015), these
selections, according to Britannica, “help children gain a better understanding of their world.” Intended to be a resource for homework help and assignments for upper elementary students, the content contains articles, photographs, charts, and tables that
help explain concepts and subjects; it also includes maps and flags from across the globe.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
