Books | We Give Books - 1 views

  •  
    Free online library with a dual purpose. Every time a book is read here, Pearson Foundation donates a book to charity causes identified at the site. Books can be searched by age range (0-3, 4-7, & 8-10), author, or genre. Books are presented as Flash files, so most screenreaders will not work with it. Snap & Read by Don Johnston will.

    I wonder how many kids with disabilities receive a book a month from birth to age 5? If you took Tar Heel Reader, http://tarheelreader.org/, books, printed them, put a simple cover on them, and a template in front, "This book belongs to _____," you could accomplish that with the millions this project requires.
