September 15 - October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month. Quality text from eBook collections provided by INFOhio supports knowledge building and vocabulary development while increasing awareness and understanding of the contributions, history, and achievements of Hispanic/Latino Americans.

A high-quality curriculum is essential for all content areas, but supplemental resources are still important for students. INFOhio provides a variety of materials, including eBooks, that can be easily accessed and are available at no cost. These eBooks support high-need topics such as financial literacy, digital literacy, STEM, careers, and Holocaust and genocide studies. Titles in the collections also meet student interest, with eBooks on cars, the supernatural, pets and animals, and celebrities. The purchased collection from INFOhio supplements quality curricula, helping students increase vocabulary and build background knowledge. The eBooks help differentiate instruction and engage readers with fun titles to read for pleasure. 

Whether you teach elementary, middle, or high school students, when it comes to observing Constitution Day, INFOhio has quality instructional materials to support learning. September 17th is a day to remember our country's foundations and to help our students at all levels learn more about what it means to be "the land of the free and the home of the brave."

The new school year is here bringing cooler temperatures, early mornings, and a new classroom of students eager to make connections. Start the year by engaging students and helping them feel safe and connected in every classroom.
