Lesson 1b -- World Book Public Library Edition

World Book Online for Kids/World Book Online Info Finder give the same information on zebras as the World Book School Edition's World Book Kids'/World Book Student. The home pages for the public library edition are different and have access to some different information and activities. Something that I didn't take of note of before is that both Student and Info Finder have access to magazine articles from EBSCO Content Solutions.

World Book Online Reference Center - The informaition given is the same as what was found in World Book Advanced. I like the World Book Explores feature.

One of the things that I notieced that was different between school and public library version is that the public library version allows you to play an audio version of the article. This would be great for a person who has trouble comprehending what they read and can better do that if they hear the information.

Hi, JM, thanks for your comments here. Just a note--ALL World Books except French have read-aloud, which is a very popular, valuable feature! Yes, the public library edition is quite parallel to the school library edition, with a few different features on their home pages.

Ok, just didn't see the option for audio the first time through.
