I am now using the public domain SWRL's Beginning Reading Program (BRP) and my children really love it. I thought I would develop a lot more teaching resources for this fabulous product.
I have a set of small and a set of large flashcards. One is for the students and one is for whole class learning.
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.

Book 15: Sam Is Mad comes complete with a reading certificate so every child feels they are becoming successful reader at each part of the course. The books also contain a set of guided reading questions.
