6.  Free ebooks – It doesn’t get much better than free!  This is the mother site for all free online books.  It has several lists of places you can get free online audio and visual books.  A must have for parents who really want to help their child improve in reading, but also expose them to different levels and types of books both visually and auditorially.

 

7.  WeGiveBooks.org – It’s another free online book, but it is laid out wonderfully for younger children.  It has the covers of the books lined up on shelves for your child to choose.  It offers contests and other events.  You will need to join in order to read, but it is free.
