World Book Discover
Although designed for the more visual learner, World Book Discover has features for all types of learners. The test to speech feature is appealing for the visually impaired or for those who are just learning the English language. Having articles which can be translated as well as read aloud in three languages is appealing for both the ESL student or those who are learning Spanish and French. The visual category format lends itself to the casual researcher who might be beginning to find a topic and needs a spark of inspiration or for someone who is just wishing to learn more at their leisure. As with the other World Book edition, World Book Discover offers a variety of links from reference materials like dictionaries and atlases to life skills and standards for educators. This is a site that should not be overlooked!

Thanks for your comments, Denise. I hope you can find ways to use World Book Discover with your students! I like the Visual Dictionary & the World Book Explains videos.
