Today, a friend of mine shared with me the site We Give Books. This site allows you to read books on your computer or SMART Board from their extensive library! They are broken into various age categories. There are books for various age groups - starting at babies all the way until age ten. The books include a mix of fiction and nonfiction, a range of authors, and an equal balance between read alouds and books for independent readers. The We Give Books team is committed to adding books every month, together with seasonal offerings. This digital initiative enables anyone with access to the internet to put books in the hands of children who don't have them, simply by reading online! The more books you and your class read from We Give Books, the more books they donate to children in need.
To get started, all you need to do is create a free account, then click on read - and scroll through this here.
surprising large library. There are also some great educator resources which has activities to go along with the various book - check them out by clicking
After exploring this website today - I could see uses at all elementary grade levels - as well as reading some of these stories to my kids at home! Some of the "editors picks" books even work on the iPad - no app required. The library isn't as large, but using the Safari Internet App that is on all iPads, you can log into your account and read books on there as well. I hope you find this to be an awesome resource - as I think it's truly a fabulous find.
Special thanks to Barbie Murphy for sharing this awesome site with me!
