Week 1- World Book School Edition

1. World Book Kids

I think that elephants are quite amazing animals as they are the biggest animals in the world, probably why they eat around 300 lbs. of plants per day. Their long trunks double as a nose and they use it like a hand to feed itself or pet their baby. To take a shower the elephant will suck water into its trunk and then spraying it over its body.

2. World Book Student vs. World Book Kids

In comparing World Book Kids to World Book Student, there are major differences. The first thing that I noticed is that the reading level is higher, also there is much more content on elephants in World Book Student. World Book Kids would be much easier for our beginning researchers with less information and easier readablity.

3. World Book Advanced

I teach in a third grade classroom so the types of information that will be most valuable to my patrons are: the introduction, people, land, and ways of life.

4. World Book Discover

World Book Discover has some wonderful features to help our struggling readers as well as our children who are not fluent in English. It has a read aloud feature, a define the word feature and also on the left hand side you can translate the article into other languages.
