3. Using World Book Advanced, go to the E-Book Center (bottom center of the home page). Feel free to browse for ebooks, but please look up either Andersen's Fairy Tales or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Note the special tools available and the Related Information. How might this be useful for your students?
Nice that there is a section for e-books.  I did not know this.  I think students will be delighted that this is available.  Sometimes the actual book can be hard to find at the local or school library. 
The students can listen or read the story.  Excellent.
I guess the related information gives the student tools to quickly move to other areas of thought.  The student may also read the biography of the author.

Yes, Serial Reader. We like to think that the World Book Advanced E-book Center is a first stop for literature & literary criticism. The links to more info are helpful, as are the download & read-aloud features.
