An enhanced e-book is an electronic PDF of an Evan-Moor title that you can download to your computer and use in your classroom today. Enhanced e-books allow teachers to take the content of an Evan-Moor resource book and apply it to the technological tools that help students learn.

Enhanced e-books allow you to select and extract the content you want in order to:

  • post lessons, tests, or answer keys on a class website;
  • make additional PDFs to share with students working from home;
  • create a PowerPoint presentation; and more!
