Grades 2-5 Because even young children are media consumers, these volumes in the Digital Citizenship series (4 titles) help them become savvy users. Colorful layouts and direct, conversational text comprise examples that are both clear and timely to highlight each topic. Staying Safe Online introduces several potential dangers, such as cyberbullying, phishing, and adults who pose as children online, and offers advice on protecting one's privacy and using the internet and social media responsibly. Each book also features sidebars that encourage children to think beyond the topic, a concluding activity or checklist, and a glossary. In this age of information overload, this series provides students with appropriate tools for media literacy.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
