There are now many reliable editions of Old English texts, a comprehensive dictionary of Old English, and the whole corpus of Old English is now available in searchable electronic form. All of this has revolutionized lexicographical methods.
In terms of online dictionaries, the Bosworth-Toller Anglo-Saxon Dictionary (bosworth.ff.cuni.cz) is my top choice most of the time. It has translations and examples for almost every word you’ll ever need, however you will have to have a basic understanding of OE grammar, since you will often only find what you’re looking for when you type ...

Readers
1. Sweet's An Anglo-Saxon Reader in Prose and Verse. A 19th-century graded reader of Old English. It does not give as much help as 20th-century graded readers might, but it is a good place to get level-appropriate readings. It also contains a short student's grammar of Old English which is a handy reference. 2. Bright's An Anglo-Saxon Reader. Bright's reader is very much like Sweet's, to the degree that the similarities raised some eyebrows on its release.4It can be used in much the same way...

1. Electronic Beowulf at the University of Kentucky. This is the full text of Beowulfin Old English, side-by-side with the manuscript page. It also has an integrated glossary.

I also had to open it in incognito mode in order for it to work, so ad-blockers and other quality-of-life tools for the modern web may interfere with its functionality. Nevert...
