Wikipedia -Simple

I try to get my students to avoid using wikipedia for the sole reason that it is difficult for some to understand the vocabulary.  I share with students websites that can be used for whatever research they have to do but I also share with them "Simple Wikipedia".

Simple Wikipedia is written in basic english with words that can be understood and aims for people trying to learn english  .However, it can be used by young children who have difficulty understanding the vocabulary that Wikipedia uses.  On the web page itself, there is a search box.  Type in what you are searching for.
