Plot Summary

Mit and Mat play in the fresh snow and then make
snowmen. When the sun comes out, the snowmen
begin to melt. Mit and Mat are unhappy, but their
snowmen are saved when more snow begins to fall.

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.
