Databases
We have access to many excellent databases through the NOVELNY program. These are a great place to find supplementary nonfiction articles for your units. Many of these databases also allow you to filter your results by Lexile or reading level. Your school librarian is always available to give you a demonstration. Ask your school librarian for login information, if needed.
In addition to the databases below, Passages Academy's staff have access to the many databases at New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library, through our participation in the MyLibraryNYC pilot program. Your school librarian can assist you with accessing and navigating these resources.
