This is the Highlights Library homepage. This visual resource makes it easy and natural for all students to find just the right book. The default for the homepage has every category checked, which displays all of the eBooks available within this resource. From the default homepage, you will see books only unless you click the Library drop-down menu and choose Videos or Phonics Readers.
