RC Audio Books Online Audio books are a good way for busy moms to "pre-read" books. They are also fun for the family. All links are to books that are human-read. Some may be available as machine-read, but I don't think they are of good enough quality to put here. (Please let me know if I've accidentally linked to any machine-read books.) Check back later, as more are released daily. (Some on this list are in the works.) Free Audio-book Sites - There are many more free audio-books available that are suitable homeschool books, or just for entertainment. Try one of the following sites. Librivox - read by volunteer readers. New, clear recordings. Audio Books for Free - has good search filters for screening out unwanted books. The audio isn't a very high quality, but that may not matter to you. Lit2Go - small, but growing selection fo children's audio books. Project Gutenberg - often these are just the Librivox recordings. More audio sites you may enjoy, but ones you probably won't find RC material at. Homeschool Radio Shows - there are many sites besides this one that have old radio shows free to download. Kiddie Records Weekly - free kid's stories (and some songs). Children's Vinyl Record Series - more free kid's stories. Check you Local Library - not only do they often have cd audio books to borrow, many are now offering e-audiobooks to download, and may also offer MP3 players for checkout. (I believe the files cease to work when the time's up, so that it's legal.) RC# REQUIRED BOOKS Author 1. McGuffey's Eclectic Primer William McGuffey 2.
