Do We Really Know Dewey?

1999
Librarians everywhere wish there was something interesting for kids about the Dewey Decimal system. We hope this will be their answer.This is a website created to teach kids about the Dewey Decimal System. There are several levels, so it could be used with different age groups. For example, the "Alien" story and the "Pre-Dew Review" sections could be used with earlier elementary levels. They would be a good review for middle grades, and they could also learn a lot from the "Let's Dew It" section. For those students who are ready for more challenging information, there is "Let's Dew it Again". The Book Topics and Websites pages should help kids get a better idea of the kinds of topics in each Dewey category. The test and puzzles will help them remember what they've learned.
