Reading Books online

Recently my Gr. 7 & 8 class started reading The Hunger Games.  This book was for pure enjoyment and to hook some of my reluctant readers.  

I didn't want to spend money buying a class set of the book so I turned to the internet for help.  Quickly I found a free pdf copy of the book.

My class is reading along with the audio recording.  

Online PDfs of books gives students easier access to different books

 whenever and wherever they are.
