     I'm looking forward to sharing this freebie with my youngest son, who is the archer in the family. He hurt his knee yesterday so may have to sit a spell, so perhaps I'll read it aloud and send him my audio/video and this file to read along to. I'll bet you will enjoy "THE STORY OF WILLIAM TELL (PDF ebook) also!

     Here's how Jim Erskine describes his offering:
"Today’s resource is this classic retelling of the amazing true story (or is it a legend?) of the national hero of Switzerland – mountaineer, shepherd and bowman, William Tell. Read the story of how Tell was forced by the cruel governor Gessler, to shoot an apple off his son’s head, and how Tell became instrumental in leading the Swiss people to freedom. Excellent, concisely written historical narrative, just right for read aloud or study assignments."

Free Elementary Longfellow Hiawatha Reading Nature Primer Great for Homeschool or Classroom

I love it when Homeschool Freebie of the Day: offers these great old resources.

As the Erskines put it, "Today's is this classic reading and nature studies primer that uses the 1855 epic poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow based on the legends of the Ojibway Indians as its subject. It's a delightful reading primer for grades 2-3, covering a variety of topics, handwriting instruction, reading lessons, and some lovely illustrations. A great introduction to this classic work for younger students."

I'll bet my youngest son will love this :)
