Both programs have been specifically designed to support Common Core learning standards. And SLJTeen readers have a chance to evaluate both of these for free through October 5, 2012.

Financial Literacy covers everything from personal and household finance to market economics and globalization. With a growing emphasis on financial education and planning, the database makes economics and money management easy to understand and highly engaging. Teen CyberSmarts is the latest in Rosen’s ground-breaking interactive ebook collection. Companion to the award-winning CyberSmarts program for elementary schools, Teen CyberSmarts gives middle and high school students hands-on experience in navigating the online world in a safe, controlled environment. The Teen CyberSmarts also helps meet CIPA requirements to ensure federal funding through the E-rate program.
