You can encourage your children to read. It's sometimes hard to get them to read the kind of stories you enjoyed as a child but these days they're more likely to read them if they are on the computer than in hard copy.
You can create gifts for friends and relatives. Use the text from short stories and fairy tales and lay it out nicely on pages leaving space for drawings and pictures. Print out the pages and let your children use their imaginations to illustrate the pages. Add your own front cover and type in the child's name eg, "Illustrated by Johnny Smith". Have the cover laminated and the book spiral bound. It's a great gift idea for birthdays or Christmas.
You can create custom versions of the books using the addition of clip art, different fonts or change the names of the main characters to those of your children or friends. This is another excellent gift idea and is a wonderfully stimulating activity for children it encourages them to read and understand the stories.

You can use the Text Reader software that comes with most multi-media PC's to sit back, relax and have the books read to you!
For Teachers:
You can teach comparative writing styles by searching for different authors. You can also compare paragraph length, chapter length, introductions and titles.
You can allow students to choose their own book, story, play or poem to study. There's are hundreds to choose from so they can't complain about the materials chosen.
You can print out sections of a play or novel and assign each student a part/character. The students must memorize their parts and give a mini play to the class.
You can create class projects. Use the text from short stories and fairy tales and have the students lay it out nicely on pages leaving space for drawings and pictures. Print out the pages and let your students use their imaginations to illustrate the pages. Add a front cover and have students add their name eg, "Illustrated by Johnny Smith". Have the cover laminated and the book spiral bound.
You can use the above idea as a school fundraiser. You could have a whole range of short stories and fairy tales illustrated by students for sale at a school fete.
What Other Are Saying . . .
"Thanks for sending me this GREAT CD. I've used the incredible resources on All-Time Classic Best Sellers in the classroom and I also print out a few chapters of a book per day, to read on the train. I use my scrap paper, so it's good for recycling and even at a book a week, it'll take me 20 years to read everything on the CD!!"
