You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print these student resources because these are all PDF documents. If you do not already have the Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can get it from the Adobe site (it’s free, and easy to download). This is the direct link to the latest version of Adobe Reader. Or, if you prefer, Tracker Software Products offers their PDF-Exchange Viewer for free as well, as an alternative to the Adobe Reader. (I actually like it better.)
