Would you like your students to read books such as Alice in Wonderland, The Odyssey, Little Women, Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn, The Scarlett Letter, Charles Dickens classics, The Jungle Book, Shelley’s Frankenstein, Stoker’s Dracula, Thoreau’s Walden or Civil Disobedience, Treasure Island, The Three Musketeers, The Red Badge of Courage, Sherlock Holmes, Paine’s Common Sense, Jules Verne classics, or plays and poems from Shakespeare?
Well, they can read all of these classics and more FOR FREE thanks to organizations that are trying to make as many books as possible available for on-line reading.
Through the use of library computers, lab computers, classroom computers (with projector for whole class to see), or computers at home (on-line homework) teachers can and should be having students read such on-line books or selected pages without having to worry about finding the money to buy class sets anymore.
Here are some of the places to go to find free books on-line:
