Wow! We now have over 170 readers - 174 readers, to be exact - which have been reviewed and recommended for your use in the Latin area. You can browse the Latin area at Tar Heel Reader, or you can quickly scan the long list of readers here:
Another way to browse through the readers, is to click here to See a Random Tar Heel Latin Reader.
Aesop's Fables. As the collection of Tar Heel Latin readers continues to grow, one of the big problems we face is organizing the materials to help people find what they are looking for. I've been organizing my materials on a separate webpage - Tar Heel Reader: Libelli Aesopi - and I've pasted in the current contents of that page below - there are 10 Aesop's fables now, in various forms, with vocabulary lists and links to additional materials online.
Create your own webpage listing! For any author who would like to be organizing their contributions on a webpage, I would be glad to make you a contributing author to this blog, so that you could create a page here with information about your Tar Heel readers - you could create a page where you list and organize your readers, and you could also annotate your individual reader pages at the blog with additional materials such as vocabulary lists, etc. So, if you are a Tar Heel author who is interested in creating your own reference pages here at the blog, please let me know and I'll be glad to make you a contributing author to this blog! :-)

Tips for Helping Students to Create Readers
Tar Heel Reader provides a great opportunity for your students to share their Latin compositions with a wider audience. If your students can write Latin at a level that matches their own reading comprehension, there are probably many other students out there who would benefit from this reading material, too.
If you are going to have your students compose and publish their own Tar Heel Readers, here is the essential ingredient: You MUST help your students to correct their Latin. This is extremely important. For the process to be a good learning experience for the students, they need feedback in revising their Latin compositions. For the final result to be useful to others, it needs to be written in grammatically correct Latin.
If your students label their unrevised work with the "Latin" tag and publish it, the odds are very high that it will end up in the "quasilatin" area. Readers with multiple errors are removed from the Latin area and put into "quasilatin." Eventually, readers in the "quasilatin" area will need to be deleted, since they serve no educational purpose of any kind.
In addition, even if your students publish work that has just a few errors in it, they will not benefit from having their errors corrected by the Tar Heel reviewers. So, to make sure that your students learn from the mistakes they make in their Latin, you need to have the students participate in a revision process BEFORE their readers are published in the Latin area at Tar Heel.
There are several ways you can assist your students in correcting their Latin:
Option 1: Compose in class as a group. Composing a Tar Heel Reader during class as a group is a great option. You, the teacher, can create a draft of a reader, priming it with pictures before class begins. Then, if you have a computer projector in class, you can then project the reader - use the Preview option available at the bottom of the editing screen - so that students can see the pictures and can compose the text together, with your feedback and input. It's easy to rearrange the pictures as you type in the text, and then delete any pictures you end up not using. You can then have the reader ready to publish by the end of class!
Option 2: Help students compose the text BEFORE they create the reader. Alternatively, you could work with students on their Latin composition before they create their reader. Then, when the text is in good shape and you have signed off on it, you can let the students type in the text and choose the pictures to illustrate it. To do this, each student will need their own Tar Heel Reader account.
Option 3: Use your name as a tag. If you decide to have the students compose at Tar Heel Reader, without helping them with the Latin beforehand, you should not let them publish their work directly to the Latin area. Instead, you can have your students publish their readers for you to review online by having them use YOUR NAME as a tag - instead of the "Latin" tag. That way, you can review your students' work online but if won't show up in the Latin area yet. To find the readers tagged with your name, just change where it says "sampleteachername" to the name you have your students use to tag their readers for your inspection:
Looking at their readers online, you can give them written feedback so that they can revise their work until it is correct. When the Latin is in good shape, the student can remove your name from the tags and add the "Latin" tag to their reader so that it will show up in the Latin area.
Other options...? If you have other ideas for how to use Tar Heel Reader to promote and share students compositions, please add your comments below!
If you are going to have your students compose and publish their own Tar Heel Readers, here is the essential ingredient: You MUST help your students to correct their Latin. This is extremely important. For the process to be a good learning experience for the students, they need feedback in revising their Latin compositions. For the final result to be useful to others, it needs to be written in grammatically correct Latin.
If your students label their unrevised work with the "Latin" tag and publish it, the odds are very high that it will end up in the "quasilatin" area. Readers with multiple errors are removed from the Latin area and put into "quasilatin." Eventually, readers in the "quasilatin" area will need to be deleted, since they serve no educational purpose of any kind.
In addition, even if your students publish work that has just a few errors in it, they will not benefit from having their errors corrected by the Tar Heel reviewers. So, to make sure that your students learn from the mistakes they make in their Latin, you need to have the students participate in a revision process BEFORE their readers are published in the Latin area at Tar Heel.
There are several ways you can assist your students in correcting their Latin:
Option 1: Compose in class as a group. Composing a Tar Heel Reader during class as a group is a great option. You, the teacher, can create a draft of a reader, priming it with pictures before class begins. Then, if you have a computer projector in class, you can then project the reader - use the Preview option available at the bottom of the editing screen - so that students can see the pictures and can compose the text together, with your feedback and input. It's easy to rearrange the pictures as you type in the text, and then delete any pictures you end up not using. You can then have the reader ready to publish by the end of class!
Option 2: Help students compose the text BEFORE they create the reader. Alternatively, you could work with students on their Latin composition before they create their reader. Then, when the text is in good shape and you have signed off on it, you can let the students type in the text and choose the pictures to illustrate it. To do this, each student will need their own Tar Heel Reader account.
Please use caution when deciding to give students
their own Tar Heel Reader account!

Option 3: Use your name as a tag. If you decide to have the students compose at Tar Heel Reader, without helping them with the Latin beforehand, you should not let them publish their work directly to the Latin area. Instead, you can have your students publish their readers for you to review online by having them use YOUR NAME as a tag - instead of the "Latin" tag. That way, you can review your students' work online but if won't show up in the Latin area yet. To find the readers tagged with your name, just change where it says "sampleteachername" to the name you have your students use to tag their readers for your inspection:

Bilingual Readers
One style of doing a Reader is bilingual - either Latin-English (two duplicate pages), or Latin-English-Latin (three duplicate pages). After you've created your Latin reader, it just takes a few minutes to create a bilingual version! You can see some examples bilingual readers by searching the Tar Heel Reader site for the tags "latin" and "bilingual" - here are the bilingual that people have contributed so far:
http://tarheelreader.org/tag/latin+bilingual/
NOTE: You can also create other versions of readers written by other authors, not just your own. So if you want to create a bilingual version of a reader currently only in Latin that someone else has written, you can do that. You can also create new versions with macrons (if an existing version does not have macrons and you want to add them), and so on - ad infinitum.
Here's how to create a new version of an existing reader:
1. Select reader to begin. Click on the reader you want to work with. Then, click on the Setup icon in the upper left-hand corner of the page.
2. Create new version. Then, scroll down the page to the "Translating and Rewriting" section, and click on the link to Create a new version of this book, as shown below.
3. Give your new reader a title. Modify the existing title of the reader so that people will recognize that yours is a bilingual style reader.
4. Duplicate or triplicate your pages. You'll now see an editing screen which will allow you to create multiple versions of the pages. To duplicate a page, just hold down the CONTROL key while you drag-and-drop the page. If you want to create three copies of each page, repeat the process twice for each page.
5. Insert English translation. Now you can go back through your reader and type over the Latin to create an English version of each page.
6. Modify tags. Check on the tags, and add "bilingual" as a tag (the reader is probably already tagged as "latin").
That's it! You can preview your book to make sure it all looks good to you - and then publish!

Repetite! Readers
One style of doing a Reader is Repetite! style, which is to say that you take each page (or just selected pages) of your Reader and insert duplicate pages, with the image but without the text, so that students reading along can have a chance to speak out loud in Latin, involving them more actively in the reading of the book.
You can see some examples of Repetite! readers by searching the Tar Heel Reader site for the tags "latin" and "repetite" - here are the Repetite! readers that people have contributed so far:
http://tarheelreader.org/tag/latin+repetite/
It's easy to create a Repetite! version of a reader that already exists. Here's how:
1. Select reader to begin. Click on the reader you want to work with. Then, click on the Setup icon in the upper left-hand corner of the page.
2. Create new version. Then, scroll down the page to the "Translating and Rewriting" section, and click on the link to Create a new version of this book, as shown below.
3. Give your new reader a title. Modify the existing title of the reader so that people will recognize that yours is a Repetite! reader.
4. Triplicate your pages. You'll now see an editing screen which will allow you to create multiple versions of the pages. To duplicate a page, just hold down the CONTROL key while you drag-and-drop the page. You can quickly make two more copies of each page.
5. Create blanks. Then, go back through the middle page of each set of three pages, and just delete the text. If you want, you can also include some blanks as clues to let readers know just how many words they might want to try to say. You can also choose to include the punctuation, or not - based on what you think best for your readers!
6. Modify tags. Check on the tags, and add "repetite" as a tag (the reader is probably already tagged as "latin").
That's it! You can preview your book to make sure it all looks good to you - and then publish!
