#7 A Link to a List of Free Classics

     I have just discovered a new (at least to me) list of free classic books for Amazon's Kindle.


     Just click here on Kindle Classics for Kids and discover the list of 39 titles!  It is also labeled "Part 1" so there must be at least a Part 2.


     One word of caution about classics, however.  Be aware that cultural norms have changed since these books were written a hundred or more years ago.  It is important that the author's own words be shared in the company of an adult who is prepared to discuss any of the young readers' concerns about these older words or concepts.


     As a fourth-grade teacher, I made it a rule to always read the entire book first before I used it for a read-aloud.  It can be confusing for members of a young audience to sort out who is speaking--the teacher, the character, or the author.


     I am currently in the process of publishing my seven ebooks for Barnes & Noble's Nook.  Margaret's Christmas Cookies is listed for $2.99, and Monkey Tales 
will likely be listed in the next couple of days.











     (And all seven of the following titles are listed for either $2.99 or $3.99 on Amazon.com for their Kindle.)









     Please keep reading...summertime is reading time.
