INFOhio’s IMatrix  (video tutorial) is designed to help educators practice inquiry-based instruction that aligns to skills embedded within the content standards of the four core curriculum areas, English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. By searching the matrix, educators can more easily see how skills are scaffolded for students and find resources that will help them teach those skills, find interdisciplinary connections, and help plan quality instruction.
The matrix focuses on Inquiry as a unifying instructional model that is common to all four content areas. Teachers are being asked to help students develop the critical skills of Inquiry. Within the IMatrix, these skills have been arranged into six key Dimensions of Inquiry . These include:
  1. Questioning
  2. Locating Information
  3. Evaluating Information
  4. Applying Information
  5. Sharing Knowledge
  6. Reflecting on Learning

  • World Book Kids articles can be translated into 30 languages.
  • Scholastic’s BookFlix has 125 paired fiction and nonfiction eBook titles, 34 of which are also available in Spanish.

To help parents encourage reading with their child, on the INFOhio Parent page, there are short videos on Reading for a Purpose, Reading on the Go and Reading on the Screen. These videos are accompanied by flyers that are in English and Spanish and support early literacy learning.
