Use the Digital Library for study help, tutoring, and test prep 

The Digital Library is a great place to find resources to support specific subjects and interests. Start with these top three digital resources to help students succeed:   

brainfuse HelpNow is an incredible support for students in grades K – 12 that offers free live tutoring, homework help from 2:00 – 11:00 pm daily, and a writing lab where students can upload their writing any time to get feedback and edits. Tutors can help students make study guides and flashcards to develop their independent study skills, as well.       

For students in grades 3 – 12, SOLARO offers support with the Alberta curriculum, including access to practice tests from The Key, SAT and AP exam prep, and more. Practice tests help students identify which areas of the topic to review and links directly to those study guides.      

LOTE4KIDS World Language Storybooks is a digital resource where you and your child can read and listen to picture books online in more than 50 languages. This is a great resource for students in an immersion program, for newcomers who are learning English, or for anyone looking to practice reading in another language.
