Most Helpful Reviews

Twig Science Reporter

Sherry Mata, Classroom Teacher: The twig science reporter addresses standards in just about every content area. The only barrier for more students experiencing it is the cost.
Kendra, Elementary Science Content Specialist: Great content and information, very appropriate for all elementary students. My kindergarteners love it as much as my 5th and 6th graders do. Thank you for this wonderful resource, and for making it free!!
Carrie Attell, 3rd grade teacher: I would give it a ten if it was as easy to access as last year. Last year I was able to post the link directly into Google Classroom, now kids have to sign up for it and many of them do not understand how to do this. Also, I am not sure they have easy access to it through their Twig accounts as I only see the teacher version.

June Yeeles, School Librarian: Image quantity could be improved
Montserrat Palau, Librarian: It is an excellent resource, easy to use, connected anywhere, anytime. For our IB school, it is very complete in multilingual content, so it introduces students to the concept of multiple literacies, enriching their academic journey and multilingualism. In addition, it is very important to our school to promote academic honesty and integrity, so Britannica offers the citation of any information.
Matt, Primary Pastoral Lead / Year 1 teacher: a great resource in one place
