Early World of Learning from World book
As you know Sutherland Shire Library members have had access to World Book online for over a year now. A great way to tackle that 'last minute' school project.
Well this week the range of products available, has just increased to include a fantastic new section called "Early World of learning".
The Early World of Learning offers a wealth of resources to help preschoolers and children in the early grades, grasp critical early childhood themes while developing reading and oral language skills.
The Early World of Learning uses narrated stories with word-by-word highlighting, interactive games, interactive reference material for beginners, and more to help young learners build vocabulary, comprehension, phonics, and reading fluency.
There are three ways to engage preschoolers;
Trek's Travel's - makes an adventure out of learning about colour, numbers, size, places, opposites and more.
Welcome to Reading - uses read aloud books, along with stories, games, songs and activities.
Know It - looks at areas of interest like body parts, weather, animals and community workers.
To take a look...follow the World Book Online link.
Choose World Book Online from the 'Databases by Title' dropdown box.
Click on Search
Then click on Search from Home (have your library card handy!)
Enter the barcode from the back of your card (without any spaces)
You will then be at the World Book portal where you can see all the products you can access.
Early World of Learning is on the far right.
