Ths HTRS schools has subscribed to World Book Online. This is an internet website that posts their encyclopedia and other research materials for students to use. Also included are some links to other resources such as articles, maps, pictures, and videos. There are really three different resource items: World Book Kids, Educator Tools, and Research Libraries. A student can chose to use the encyclopedia article, a magazine article, other websites, or get a suggestion of books to read about the subject. These are all updated continually. A wealth of information at your fingertips, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

World Book Kids is designed for elementary students. There are tons of pictures, diagrams, maps and articles, just like on the advanced side. The web links are at the bottom of the page after the article content. Take a look at some of the neat activities that students can participate in called “Make It”, “Think It”, and “Be It”.
