Book 39: The Seed

New Words
hand, hill, seed, weed - Decodable

Plot Summary
Mit has a seed which he and Will want to plant.
First they weed. Then they plant the seed. Sun
shines on the seed and rain falls on it. The seed
grows into a little tree. Mit and Will try to guess
what kind of tree it will be. After many days, nuts
appear on the branches. Mit and Will are proud
of their tree and share the nuts with their friends.

Each new word throughout the program is repeated at
least five times in the book in which it first appears and
five more times in the next ten books.

The first book in the series starts with just 3 words: I, see, Sam. Every book or two adds a few words, until by book 52, the readers have read 95 different words. The SWRL Kindergarten Beginning Reading Program was first implemented in U.S. public schools in the early 1970's. Due to its tremendous success at achieving its goal of teaching young children to read, over the years the program has been copied, edited and/or revised by a number of individuals, institutions, and companies.
