Gr 3–6—Students learn about various digital skills through this series, from the basics of email to more sophisticated online content creation. Though these titles tackle useful subjects, the execution is lacking. Send It begins with a history of email and discusses email hacking before giving a basic overview of how to compose or send an email. The author attempts to interact with readers, asking what they would put in the subject line, but fails to provide illuminating examples of good and bad subject lines. Graph It includes example of graphs and charts that seem weaker than what many kids are capable of creating on their own.
VERDICT Though these texts are competent, they won't engage readers.
