Plot Summary
While looking in the mirror, Nell the Bird asks herself
who she is. She finds a scarf and hat, puts them on and
is pleased. She thinks she is so beautiful that she wants
to show herself off. She’s looking in the mirror and
doesn’t look where she’s going. She runs right into the
water and then has to admit that she looks a mess.

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.

I See Sam Books are a series of early reader books developed to teach children in kindergarten to read. The original series, written in 1972, as part of Southwest Regional Educational Laboratory’s (SWRL) Beginning Reading Program (BRP), contained 52 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.
