Free workbooks

Free books! This is really cool. The Library of Congress  published a TON of books. The subjects cover math, reading, writing, job training, test preparation, and so much more at various levels. Each link is a 3-4 hundred page workbook with pre-test, post-test and a key.

I am trying not to download everything at once.

How about this for cool!!!

You know you can download the Kindle software to your PC, iPhone, and Blackberry, right? Well, there are hundreds of free books that were transcribed by volunteers (that means they are probably not error free). However, the more people that read them, the better the rating for each book will be; therefore, allowing for us all to be a part of the tide that has shifted to focus on public domain. I think it is cool!! I am a total geek, though. I have downloaded over 300 books in the last 12 hours. What else do you do when you are so ill you can't sleep?

Check it out at http://www.amazon.com/ and look at Kindle books by most popular and you will quickly come across the titles marked $0.00. I love the look of that.

Other free book resources

CK-12 is another place where books are able to be self publishable and an open source educational book repository.

Curriki - Fooling With Words Website is another place where open source books are available for education.

Lulu is also a place where books that have been made by authors allowing for a free copy of the book in PDF.

Did you all know about Wikibooks?

Wikibooks is really cool. It has books available for free. These books can be downloaded as a PDF for free and then they can be placed on the Kindle for free reading material. Yeah!!! Free!!!! If you want a bound copy you can create a PDF that can be uploaded to Lulu.com and then purchased as a bound book. IF YOU DO THAT, make sure you are verifying the specs before you create the book. You may need to adjust the PDF document.

They also have Wikijunior for children's books. This is a section of free educational books for children birth to 12 years old.
