Great Literature at Your Fingertips...
This tip is for those, like myself, who are on a limited budget but know the importance of providing great literature for their children to read.
I would love to be able to buy a beautifully bound, last-a-lifetime volume of every "great classic" for my children, but I can't afford to do that. So to supplement the ones I can afford to buy I use online books or etexts. A good place to start is Ambleside Online at http://www.amblesideonline.org . They have a listing of suggested literature readings for each grade level with links to an online version of most of the children's classic books. You can read them online or you can download them to read at your convenience or you can print them out to read away from the computer. It is a great way to have access to affordable great literature! At most the costs are paper, ink, and time. Ambleside also has a great article on printing etexts here:

Also here are some links to sites that have online books or etexts:

I hope this is helpful to anyone who wants to provide the classics for their children but can't afford to buy them all.
