The best encyclopedia is the one that gets used--and World Book has expended much effort studying the habits of readers, school curricula, and patterns of classroom use to ensure that this encyclopedia is one that will indeed be used. The result is a colorful, well-cross- referenced and easy-to-use encyclopedia which varies its approach so that the "mouse" article is written for a young audience, while articles for more advanced topics, such as "cell," are written for advanced readers. Longer articles are structured according to World Book's fivefold plan (complete story, visual aids, related articles, outline, questions) and proceed from simpler to more sophisticated concepts and reading levels. Volume 22 includes a section titled A Student Guide to Better Writing, Speaking, and Research Skills, which is designed to help students with reports.
