Tar Heel Reader is a collection of free, easy-to-read, and accessible books on a variety of topics. Books can be read online or downloaded as slide shows in PowerPoint. They can be speech-enabled and accessed using a variety of formats, including touch screens, Intellikeys, and switches.

These books are intended for readers of all ages, so there may be some inappropriate content for younger readers. The site describes how you can use a Favorites page to offer appropriate choices for your students.

Another great aspect of this website is that you or your students can easily create and submit your own books and even see where in the world their books are being read! Teachers need to register and a code a required. See your ITRT for the code.
