- Math Flashcards - Two styles to choose from that both match the RC problems. Be sure to read the printing directions!
- Math Recording Forms - Blank, or with assignment numbers written in.
- Missing / Extra Pages - Replacements for missing or marred pages in RC. There are also extras to add, like tables of contents and a glossary.
- Text Files - Free books you may not find elsewhere at this time. (And some corrected Gutenberg texts.)
- Printable Books and Covers - Already formatted and ready to print. (Links to separate page.)
MATH FLASHCARDS Regular Cards or Fact Family Cards
Download note: These PDF files are pretty big, so you may want to save them instead of loading them in your browser. To do that, left click on the file name, then select "Save Target As" or "Save Link As".
Printing Directions: When printing with Adobe, under "Page Sizing & Handling" click "Size," then select "Actual Size." (In older Adobe set "Page Scaling" to "None.") This should make them align properly with any printer, and you'll avoid any extra trimming. Just cut on the printed lines and they'll all be the same size.
(Wording can vary in different versions of Adobe, and will be different in other PDF readers, but these directions should still help you set things up right before printing.)
REGULAR FLASHCARDS - These flashcards include all the same math problems as RC, except instead of folding over (like RC), these print on both sides. (See below for yet another kind of cards.)
See downloading and printing directions above.
Addition Flashcards in PDF format. (171 cards, or 22 sheets, duplexed.)
Subtraction Flashcards in PDF format. (171 cards, or 22 sheets, duplexed.)
Multiplication Flashcards in PDF format. (156 cards, or 20 sheets, duplexed.)
Division Flashcards in PDF format. (156 cards, or 20 sheets, duplexed.)
FACT FAMILY FLASHCARDS - Print these on one side only to avoid confusion. (They don't need any folding.) If printing at a lower resolution, test one page on regular paper first. (Even at regular resolution, they don't take much toner, because of all the white space.)
These are hexagonal flashcards which include all the same math problems as RC, but on fewer cards. (Each card can be used for 4 different problems.) Visit the math cats site for ideas on how to use these cards.
Note: I made the following cards myself, to match RC. Each set also contains a placeholder to mark where you got to, as well as a printable cardholder with directions for making and using it.

Add / Subtract flashcards in PDF format. (99 cards, or 12 sheets.)
Multiplication / Division flashcards in PDF format. (90 cards, or 11 sheets.)
MATH RECORDING FORMS
Some of the files may display oddly on your screen, but should look fine printed. As of the date this was posted we were in Algebra 2 (and skipped Algebra 1/2) so I don't have separate forms for that or Advanced Math and Calculus. But the blank recording form will work for those!
Saxon Math Recording Form A - For Saxon 5/4 thru 8/7. This form has room to record the date and scores for 120 lessons, 23 tests, and 12 investigations (assignment numbers are included), plus room for 13 more assignments, if needed. You can ignore the test and investigation spaces if you're not using them.
Saxon Math Recording Form B - For Algebra 1. This form has room to record the date and scores for 120 lessons and 30 tests (assignment numbers are included), plus room for 18 more assignments, if needed.
Saxon Math Recording Form C - For Algebra 2. This form has room to record the date and scores for lessons A and B through lesson 129, and 32 tests (assignment numbers are included), plus room for 5 more assignments, if needed.
Blank Math Recording Form - Can be used for recording any scores. Has columns for date, lesson number, and score. Room for 168 assignments on 2 pages. Assignment numbers are NOT written in.

MISSING / EXTRA PAGES (Extras are below.)
There are a few RC books that are missing pages, or have other problems, which are described below. The links are to replacement pages that fix those problems. I tried to make the page and font sizes the same as the RC scans. Let me know if there are other pages I should add here.
Download note: Replacement pages have file names that begins with an m (for missing), and extras, like tables of contents, have file names that begin with an e. Both types are followed by the RC or Henty book number.
Printing Directions: When printing with Adobe, under "Page Sizing & Handling" click "Size," then select "Fit." This should make them print at the proper size to match your book (whether it's full size or half size) and avoid excess margins / shrunken lettering.
(Wording can vary in different versions of Adobe, and will be different in other PDF readers, but these directions should still help you set things up right before printing.)
8. Our Hero General U. S. Grant - missing pages 25-38, and 69. (This file intentionally includes one full-page picture with a blank after it, and a blank page before page 69, to match original book.)
32. The Rover Boys in Southern Waters - page 111 is difficult to read.
40. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - missing pages 53-54.
93. Life of David Crockett (Autobiography) - page 252 is split up over 2 pages in RC.
115. Theodore Roosevelt; An Autobiography - half of page 40 is missing.
133. The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government (Vol. 1) - page 33 is difficult to read. (This replacement file is a scanned page.)
336. The Erie Train Boy - pages 123 and 140 are incorrect in RC.
620. By England's Aid - pages 97-112 were scanned from the wrong book.
Extra Pages to add to your RC books. (Let me know of any more extras that would be useful.)
50. Bob, Son of Battle - Since this book uses Cumbrian / Scots dialect, I made a glossary (using definitions found online) to add to the back of the book. (Text version available below.)
84. The Law - Table of Contents
125. On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals, etc. or "Scientific Papers" - Table of Contents
143. The Common Sense of the Exact Sciences - Table of Contents
Tip - 131. A Tale of Two Cities - the Table of Contents for this book can be found in book 116, pages 12-14. (Why? The book RC used for scans combined this title with "Oliver Twist", but the book was separated into its two titles in the RC software.)

TEXT FILES - You may want to see the series order page for some of these books.
Some of these text files are for books on the RC list, and some aren't. One file's a glossary I made for an RC book. Some files are here because they aren't available at Project Gutenberg (yet), and some are the corrected version of what's at Gutenberg. (I'm waiting for them to apply corrections I've sent. When they do, I'll remove the files from here.)
The following text files are zipped, so save them to your computer and unzip. Books on the RC or Henty list have the book number by them.
Before downloading, check out the printable books page. The book you want may already be there, so you won't have to reformat it from a text file yourself.

FREE PRINTABLE BOOKS AND COVERS
There were so many files that I put them on their own page. The books are formatted in WordPerfect, but can also be opened in MS Word or OpenOffice. The covers are PDFs in half and full size. The covers go with books printed from RC, or from this site, or can go with books you've formatted or found elsewhere online.
