Good news!  After extensive trialing last term, I’m excited to announce that our school now subscribes to the following World Book Web products.

  • World Book Kids—is based on World Book’s award winning Discovery Encyclopedia and is designed to give younger students, ESL students and reluctant readers a rewarding online learning experience. The site illustrations, diagrams and maps enrich more than 2,000 articles selected for appeal and relevance.
  • World Book Student—forms the foundation of an expansive reference database that includes over 40,000 encyclopedia and reference articles, thousands of links to outside web sites selected by World Book editors and contributors. It also includes an extensive Dictionary and Atlas plus audios, visuals and animations.
  • World Book Timelines – Hundreds of unique timelines spanning the arts, science and technology, society and culture, sports, world history and geography.

Our World Book subscription allows students and their families access to this valuable reference source at your home computers 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.

We hope that your whole family will use the World Book sites often to help with homework, special projects, at-home learning and information seeking. To access the World Book products students will need to log in through their DET portal, click on Oliver Library and then the link to World Book Online on the home page.
