Staying one step ahead of your child's academic experiences and helping to filter the information overload is a challenge.
Studies indicate that children with home encyclopedias get above-average grades.
Today, desktop multimedia computers and electronic encyclopedias are an option to buying print volumes. Electronic encyclopedias are less expensive, require less space, and are updated more frequently than print versions. But they require a well-equipped computer and can be used only by one person at a time. They may be less accessible when a burning question comes up at the dinner table. But there's a wealth of information available and interesting tricks that you won't see in any print encyclopedia.
