Fullbooks and Freeloadpress: Great free text books online!

To all bookworms out there, I think you would love this post that I'll make regarding two helpful sites that provides access to thousands of free text books.

These are the FULLBOOKS and FREELOADPRESS. Both sites have the intent to help people who love to learn while online. Also, they aim to provide zero cost educational materials to students and teachers as well.

Fullbooks offers textbooks which you can read online. No need for you to download the books because the site makes it easier for you to navigate the books online. One disadvantage of this site is that it doesnt have a search function that allows you to easily look for a book that you need. However, the books are well organized and arranged alphabetically so if you know the title of the book you are looking for, just click on corresponding first letter of the book title and you should see the book there. Also, you need not to register just to have access to their books.

Freeloadpress provides extensive list of free ebooks. It would first require you to register for the site so you can download their ebooks. The registration process includes survey questions that would help the site improve more. Eventually it would help you (as their site visitors) because from the survey, they will know what textbooks are mostly needed by people. The site doesnt also have a search feature but the books can be sorted by title, subject or author.

So what are you waiting for, visit http://www.fullbooks.com and http://www.freeloadpress.com to start learning at the comforts of your home!

Enjoy Reading!

St Aiden's Homeschool Fun Activity Books

Im so thankful everytime I receive an email from other webmasters or bloggers who are willing to share their freebies. Yesterday, I received one from a very inspiring webmaster/teacher who would want to share her free activity books.


Donnette, a single working mom in South Africa, is the webmaster of http://www.staidenshomeschool.com/ . She originally created these free activity books for homeschooling her children. Later on, she thought that it would be a great idea to share these educational books to others so she created a website. Her website was a big help to people who do homeschooling as well as to parents who personally teach their children with basic writing and reading skills. Thus it was awarded as Editor's Choice Award in Your Student's News which she truly deserves.

What surprised me the most is that during our conversation I found out that she is the author of "Christmas Phonics Activity Book" which I plan to post this december (found in scribd.com). So visit http://www.staidenshomeschool.com/ now so that you can download free educational materials.

About http://www.staidenshomeschool.com/: Homeschooling site, with free teacher/parent/student resources. Curriculum-based activity books and worksheets, free educational games and software, arts, crafts and activities, thematic and seasonal units. Catering for preschoolers upwards and including higher elementary school-age children. Updated daily.

I asked her what are her favorites among her collection and Donette's recommended readings are the following (although she had a hard time creating a list):
