free books, ebooks, grant opportunities plus Special Needs kids

All - here are 2 of the grants I mentioned...

In Search of FREE Books? Check here for opportunities – ebooks too!

The Children’s Bookstore Educational Foundation – free paperback for kids - http://www.thecbstore.com/teach_app2.pdf

Additionally, for any of  your special educators and their special needs students:
For students who have print disabilities, including vision, there is a free resource at www.bookshare.org  You can go on line and they have plenty of information on how to access large print books, talking books and books that are brailed.  As long as the student has a qualifying disability the book files are free as well as a computer program that can be downloaded.  They list the e-readers that can use these files.  It is my understanding that IPads will soon be able to use this resource as well.
