World Book Foreign Language Edition

1.  In the Foreign Language Edition, it is very easy to move back and forth between Spanish and English in the visual dictionary.  This easy movement could easily be used to help with matching vocabulary whether learning English or Spanish.  The visual component allows students still learning language to locate items in the visual dictionary.

2.  When preparing to listen to the article, I found that I could choose the speed at which the article is read.  I could see older students taking Spanish as a languae using this function to practice speaking for practice and understanding.  Also students new to the country would be able to have the information read to them while keeping up with their English counterparts reading the same article in English.
