Student Resources

 

Solaro is a free resource provided by The Alberta Library and is created by Castle Rock, the publishers of The Key. Solaro features units and topics of study of the Alberta curriculum for grades 3-12 and contains self-led lessons, quizzes and unit exams. Students will need a public library card to access this resource. Many libraries are registering new patrons via telephone, so please contact your local library for assistance. The access link for Solaro is located on your local library's website under "eResources". For more information, you can view YRL's webinar on Solaro.
The Online Reference Centre (ORC) licenses digital resources for use by Alberta schools and students. Resources include videos, databases and interactive games all aligned with the Alberta curriculum. Students and teachers can access all of these resources from home. If you or your students need your institutional login information, please email Lorisia MacLeod at Lmacleod@thealbertalibrary.ab.ca. She will respond with your login and password within 24-48 hours. Until then, feel free to browse the lists of resources by division and curriculum area!

YRL libraries have plenty of other resources your students can access from home using a library card. All of these can be found on your local library's website under "eResources". TeenBookCloud - Online collection of eBooks, audiobooks, graphic novels, enhanced novels, National Geographic videos, and educator resources. All material is available simultaneously -- no holds. Early World of Learning - Premier learning resource for preschoolers and children.
