We are reading and working off a few free resources from Google Books:
South American history selections(complements Rod & Staff 6, Understanding Latin America) from New Geographies, 1920.
English selections from Good English, Oral and Written,1921.
And Reading: Roy and Ray in Mexico, 1907 or Manuel in Mexico. I haven't had a chance to review these, but when I do, we'll select one.
Some of these older books can be so much more interesting than contemporary text books. Partly because they are written in a manner that captures the imagination and wonder of children, and partly because they give a glimpse into the foundation of our country and others. It provides a framework for understanding where and who we were(our foundations), and how we got to the present.
How to use these ebooks:
You can read these online, download the entire text by clicking on "overview" at the link(download button on top right), or print select pages. To print, right click on the image of the page, save or "view page", and then print. If you don't right click on just the image of the page, you'll print out the entire screen shot.
We do both printing select pages and reading online. I download the text to my computer, then store it on a flash drive for viewing on our mini laptop. I can store quite a few books on the flashdrive, thereby freeing up my computer space.

I don't know if you mentioned this anywhere, but do you read these online or print then out? We are changing up a few things ourselves: doing an Advent study, reading " A Christmas Carol" orally, and taking things a little slower as we prepare for Christmas.
You can read it online, download the entire book, or just print out select pages. I'll add this to my post. :)
