LETHBRIDGE – The demands of homework and studying can be overwhelming for children in elementary school.

Chinook Arch Regional Library System has taken steps to help with homework as it is now offering SOLARO, an online homework help tool, to library patrons in southwest Alberta.

SOLARO provides study help, practice quizzes, and exam preparation in math, sciences, and English for grade 3 to 12, with all content being matched with the Alberta curriculum.

Using their library card, students can set up a SOLARO account, and select the subjects they want to work on.

The program allows participants to make notes and flashcards using SOLARO’s units and lessons, review extended solutions on quizzes, and take practice exams with questions modeled on those used for Alberta’s Provincial Achievement Tests.

Parents can also set up a profile that is linked to their child’s, and receive detailed reports on course activity and progress
