Internet Archive.org is run by a non-profit organization that offers a free account to its users, enabling them to borrow books from a vast database. Various forms of additional media, including educational videos and podcasts, are also available for browsing. This resource creates endless opportunities for remote learning. Tutors can share links and read digital books with learners via Zoom or other forms of online meeting platforms. As libraries remain closed, learners have the option to create their own account to explore helpful materials from the comfort of their own home, allowing them to continue polishing their literacy skills.
