WB Discover: Capitol, United States

The language translator is a great feature of this edition of WB online encyclopedia. Occasionally I have a student who is an English Language Learner. There are many communities in America in which this feature is a necessity. The Lexile indicator is a tool teachers will find useful. The read-aloud feature, as in all the editions, is something students with reading difficulties will be able to use. The article also guides users to WB Student for a more in-depth article on this topic.

    Hi, Kim, good summary. Please note that all WB module have the translation feature, which apply more to some communities than others. Thanks for mentioning Lexiles, read-aloud, and the links to WB Student.
