A curriculum-connected learning tool that builds fundamental reading and research skills for independent learning, used in nearly 30,000 schools by more than 5 million students annually, PebbleGo is one of the most popular research tools out there. Specifically designed for K-2 students, PebbleGo is packed with informational articles, ready-made activities, and literacy supports for students of all abilities. Plus, with the addition of PebbleGo Create, students can demonstrate their learning in a digital workspace. Linked from every article—no need to login to a different tool—students can share their knowledge using their choice of video, text, drawing, and more.

All PebbleGo modules are available in English and Spanish languages for dual-language development and content-area literacy for ELL students. Each PebbleGo article includes a read-aloud option featuring real voice actors—not robotic text-to-speech—modeling pronunciation and fluency. Text highlighting helps readers of all ability to follow along. Guided keyword searching, large visual search, and consistent navigation make information easy to find and recognize for young researchers, and every sentence is carefully written to be at the right level for comprehension and engagement. PebbleGo is Section 508 compliant, providing accessibility supports for students with vision, cognitive, physical, and hearing disabilities.

PebbleGo is a go-to K-2 resource for teachers across the country, helping them extend student learning by encouraging critical thinking and research skills, reinforcing the curriculum, supporting personalized learning, and inspiring children’s diverse interests through independent learning and exploration in core subject areas. For these reasons and more, PebbleGo from Capstone is a Cool Tool Award Winner for “Best Research / Reference Tools Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards 2024 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.
