World Book Student

Designed to make online information easy for students to access and for teachers to integrate into lesson planning—boasts more than 40,000 encyclopedia articles, learning resources, and research tools.

Tailored for students, articles include embedded multimedia and related resources to engage students, expanded biographies, and supplemental tools to support cross-curricular studies.

NEW! Articles in Student now offer users the ability to change the font to OpenDyslexic. The OpenDyslexic font is designed to help students recognise letters by preventing them from flipping and swapping while reading. This new option is available in the tools menu on all articles.
Spread the word with a pre-created social media post.

NEW! Interactive Media. From the Sydney Opera House to exploring Machu Picchu, we have enriched our images—both static and 360-degree photos—with “hotspots” that lead to fun facts, related articles, photo galleries, videos, audio clips, maps, and more. The 360-degree photos work with visual reality headsets.
