[edit] EN-junior
This is a tentative proposal for a version of the English Wikipedia targeted toward children (6-12?). If a topic is taught in schools before the age of 12 then I could envision it in EN-junior.
Sensible aims:
- Appropriate reading age and content (as opposed to "Simple English").
- Articles of particular interest to children.
- Avoid objectionable content (in terms of "adult topics").
[edit] Sources
The English and Simple English editions of wikipedia provide plenty of content for starting EN-junior. Another useful source is wikibooks, especially Wikijunior.
[edit] Browse by overview articles
