Comparing world book kids and world book students I found that there was a little more information in the world book students, plus there were more options for the students. Students that struggle with reading would be able to use World Book Kids with greater ease. It had a simpler design and looked like it was for younger students.
World Book Advanced: the left side would work better for my students. I believe they will understand the topics and be able to use the site with greater ease. They would be able to narrow down their search topic using the left side. This site has so much reading that some of my students will have trouble getting through it all.
World Book Discover: I do like that there are the icons to help those that struggle with English. Then it has the option for another language which would be a huge benefit.
I am going to explore these site more as I really like what they have to offer elementary students.
1c. If I had a student that spoke Spanish as their first language then this World Book would be awesome. I also think it would be great if you had some students that spoke both languages and they could help only English speaking children learn a new language. This might be a way for teachers to incorporate a second language a little bit at a time. I know my class is interested in learning a different language. It would also help me with saying the words correctly.
ReplyDeleteOff to a good start, Denise. We think World Book has much to offer all ages because of its information, read-aloud, and videos and images. We hope you will show it to your students.
