Editorial Reviews

Series Review: Core Skills “The titles contain everything from descriptions of graphic organizers that can help students arrange their research to how to cite different sources of information. Rather than just telling readers about researching, the series gives lots of examples, putting project possibilities into context. The titles ask and answer important questions, such as ‘Why Do I Need Evidence?’ and ‘Why Do I Need to Cite?’” —School Library Journal
