About World Book Kids

Subject
World Book Kids, an online product using World Book's Student Discovery Encyclopedia, was created in partnership with Douglas Love, author of more than 25 best-selling children's books, plays, and educational television shows.

World Book Kids is designed especially for younger users, English-language learners, and reluctant readers. The site offers simple navigation, easy-to-read content, bright colors, and a graphical design. Thousands of colorful illustrations, diagrams, and maps enrich thousands of articles selected for appeal and adherence to curricular standards. Teacher guides provide instructions and stimulating ways to use content in the classroom setting.

World Book Kids' activities offer fun and useful teaching tools. Four categories--"Think It?" "Be It!" "Make It!" and "Play It"--cover a variety of curriculum topics. Each student activity has a "Teach It!" section, which contains a wealth of resources for educators, including correlations to standards and printable activity worksheets for use in the classroom or at home.
