100 Follower Giveaway & We Give Books.org

I am almost to 100 followers, so I'm starting to plan a big giveaway to mark the occasion.  If you would like to have your Teachers Pay Teachers product(s) or other item as part of the Rafflecopter giveaway, please let me know.  Thanks! :)

I had to share with you a really great website that you can use with your kids in your classroom on a SMARTboard, individual computers, and/or have kids use at home for more exposure to great books.  The best part is that by reading these online books, WeGiveBooks.org gives free books to a variety of charities!  Each book you read helps. 


There are lots of quality books available to read.  Here is a a bit of information from the site:

"We Give Books is a free website that enables anyone with access to the Internet to put books in the hands of children who don't have them, simply by reading online.Simply choose the charity you want to read for and then select the books you want to read. For each book you read online, we donate a book to a leading literacy group on your behalf.  The more you read, the more we give. Choose a title from our growing digital library and start reading. Once your book is selected you can then choose the organization on whose behalf you wish to read.  The book you select appears in a special reading window, and you can page through it exactly as you would if you were holding it in your hands.  When you finish reading, you need only to confirm your effort to let us know it's time to share another hardcover or paperback book with a child in need. Read as many books as you like, as many times as you like."


You can put their link on your blog to share with others and to make it simple for you to access.  So, spread the word!
