How do I get my students novels during this social distancing time? The challenges of distance learning are immense. As teachers dive into many new computer programs and resources that haven’t been tried in the past, frustration builds. One question that repeatedly arises is how do I get novels for distance learning? Students can’t run out to the shops and purchase them. The answer is free eBooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Won’t purchasing eBooks be expensive? No, several websites provide completely FREE eBooks. So, take a deep breath and see if these sites work for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Open Library is precisely what the name implies. You can check out digital books for two weeks. The website’s goal is to get a copy of every book that was ever published. This means their library is huge. At present, 1.7 million titles are available for checkout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To check out books, you must get a library card. This means providing a username, password, and email address. Once registered, you log in and begin checking out books.<\/span><\/p>\n

Open Library also has a section of classic books that you can click on the button and read without going through the checkout process. Check out their Student Library here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Project Gutenberg<\/a><\/strong> is the place to download and read over 60,000 free ebooks. The books can be read online or downloaded to computers or Kindles. Think older classics. Gutenberg’s collection includes only books for which the U.S. copyright has expired. This means the books were published before 1924.<\/span><\/p>\n
