@h5 Jordan, Kindergarten
Jordan is just beginning to explore letters, sounds and their meanings. With PebbleGo’s read-aloud audio, word-by-word text highlighting and simple nonfiction topics, Jordan is supported every step of the way as he starts to build early literacy skills.
During a lesson on habitats, his teacher projects the “[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgoplayer/articles/11999]Axolotls[/url]” article from PebbleGo Animals on the smartboard and uses the range map to show where axolotls live. Jordan then uses the creation tool to draw what he’s learned — his first step toward sharing information with others.

@h5 Ava, Grade 1
Ava has recently started to read short sentences on her own. In a unit on seasons, she listens to the "[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgoplayer/articles/2044]What Are Seasons?[/url] article in PebbleGo Science to build background knowledge. Confidently navigating the platform, she explores the “[url=https://app.pebblego.com/shell/modules/2/categories/2971]Summer[/url]” category and selects the “[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgoplayer/articles/2004]Summer Weather[/url]” article to read independently. Her teacher encourages her to extend her learning by reading a related eBook from the classroom’s curated bundle; giving her a new way to connect reading with the world around her.

@h5 Liam, Grade 2
As part of a cross-curricular unit on inventors, Liam and his partner are given printable activities that accompany articles in PebbleGo Biographies. Using these resources, they research [url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgoplayer/articles/3141]Alexander Graham Bell[/url], clicking on words in bold for instant glossary definitions to build vocabulary in context.
Liam completes his worksheet by summarizing what he’s learned and reflecting on why Bell’s contributions were important. Through this process, he’s strengthening his comprehension and developing critical thinking skills by connecting key ideas across texts.

@h5 Sophia, Grade 3
Sophia loves asking questions, so for her next independent research report, she chooses space exploration. She starts with the “[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/8533]Space Exploration[/url]” article in PebbleGo Next, then explores the “[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/9265]Neil Armstrong[/url]” article—watching a video of his Moon landing and using the interactive timeline to track key events. The built-in citation tool helps her organize facts and sources.
To deepen learning, her teacher assigns a nonfiction eBook on the Earth’s atmosphere through the school’s LMS and lends her an early chapter book from the classroom print collection, giving Sophia a mix of fiction and nonfiction that builds vocabulary, introduces varied text structures, and encourages her to read widely.

@h5 Noah, Grade 4
Noah reads below grade level but accesses the same content as his peers through PebbleGo Next.
During a unit on ancient civilizations, Noah explores articles on “[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/12177]Ancient Egypt[/url]” and the "[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/12185]Aztec Empire[/url]” in PebbleGo Next Social Studies. He listens to the articles, studies the images, and uses the clickable dictionary to understand new terms. These supports ensure Noah can complete the same assignments, participate fully, and feel confident in his abilities.

@h5 Zara, Grade 5
Zara is preparing for middle school and is an English Language Learner eager to improve her literacy skills. She listens to [url=https://app.pebblego.com/shell/book/9781669034247]Reeya Rai and the Ivory Peacock[/url] from her school’s interactive eBook collection, which models fluent reading and clear pronunciation to help her tackle tricky vocabulary.
Her teacher pairs these with high-interest print books, giving Zara more opportunities to practice and build academic language — boosting comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills.
