One of our goals as ELA teachers is to inspire more students to choose to read for pleasure. In an effort to make books more accessible, the Dearborn Public Schools has made hundreds of titles available for FREE for students through the “Open eBooks” app.

Once the app is downloaded onto a phone or tablet, students will log in using the CLEVER option. This will allow students to log in using their district user name and password; once logged in, they will have access to all of the titles.

The following document provides step by step directions.

Thank you to our Technology Department for making this resource available to all of our students!
