Back to school with SOLARO
The start of the school year can be an anxious time for students and their caregivers and never more so than after learning disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. Students may need to review what they learned last year before jumping into another year of learning, home-learning parents are working on their lesson plans, students entering Grade 12 have provincial exam prep on their minds and adult learners are looking for study tools to help them complete high school.
Vancouver Island Regional Library offers SOLARO, an exam prep and study app for students in Grades 3-12. Based on the BC Curriculum, SOLARO provides study notes and practice tests for English/language arts, science and math. Users can also customize their study with their own notes and flashcards. Parents of younger students can use SOLARO materials as a framework or to build up their own skills to help with homework, while older students can work through material independently. SOLARO is great for teachers and tutors too!
