Children love (and need) to have stories read to them. Not only does it introduce them to new vocabulary and expression, it also gives them an opportunity to use their imagination. eBooks are simply books that are available in an electronic format. Many audiobooks can be purchased through iTunes. For free eBooks, check out these sites.
Lit2Go
An online database of poems and short stories for grades k-12. The free mp3 files can be downloaded in iTunes or directly from their site. There are also pdf copies available on the site if students want to follow along.
Project Gutenberg
"Project Gutenberg is the place where you can download over 30,000 free ebooks to read on your computer, iPhone, Kindle, Sony Reader or other portable device. " The quality of these ebooks can vary depending on who read them.
Digital Book Index
A search engine for free ebooks. Remember, the copyright must no longer be valid in order for the books to be shared as free ebooks. If you are searching for a book and can not find it, either the copyright is still valid or no one has been a recording yet.
