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! :-)
