Book 4 See Me New Word in Book 4: me The books begin at a very simple level and gradually introduce new sounds and words.

This book is part of the SWRL series of books called I see Sam.

Book 3 See Sam *** Now includes a PowerPoint Presentation of the Book!!!**** I have added lots of new and exciting teaching ideas to get more out of every book. As well as the book, you should also always use these highly motivational reading certificates. In my experience, children enjoy reading and collecting these certificates. It is also a nice way of showing their parents that their students have become active readers! See Sam is the third book in the series of beginning readers. The students start to read a longer story. Sam falls down a hole and Mat rescues him. I think this would be perfect for anyone wanting to do role playing with the class.

*** Now including PowerPoint Presentation - full of additional activities! *** Book 1 I See Sam is the first book in a 52 book series from . We offer a range of different version of this book (Book 1 I see Sam), so that everyone can make full use of these fabulous books. I have a long list of different teaching resources I could add to make this series really exciting for kids. I am planning to provide lots of free resources, as well as some paid-for items. If you like my resources, please share them with others. Story Summary: In his encyclopedia, Mat the Rat discovers a picture of a real lion and learns many things about lions. Mat sees what a real lion looks like, where he lives and what he eats. Mat is so excited that he wants his friend Sam, who is a lion, to read about the lions too. New Sounds in Book 1 /a/ /m/ /s/ /ee/ New Words I, see Sam The books should be read in order, because the sounds and words in each book build upon those learned in previous books.

Each new word throughout the program is repeated at least 5 times in Book 1 I see Sam in which it first appears and 5 more times in the next 10 books. Book 1 I see Sam has questions at the end to help students to deepen their knowledge about the story. In addition, as I was experimenting with my own son, I discovered by creating simple certificates for every book he successfully read, he became a wonderfully motivated reader. Of course, what works well for my son, might also work for your child, and so I thought I would add the same certificates to each reading pack to help motivate every child to reach their real potential.

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.
