A Note to Parents

DK READERS is a compelling program for beginning readers, designed in conjunction with leading literacy experts, including

Dr Linda Gambrell, Professor of Education at Clemson

University Dr Gambrell has served as President of the National Reading Conference and the College Reading Association, and has recently been elected to serve as President of the

International Reading Association.

Beautiful illustrations and superb full-color photographs combine with engaging, easy-to-read stories to offer a fresh approach to each subject in the series Each DK READER is guaranteed to capture a child’s interest while developing his

or her reading skills, general knowledge, and love of reading The five levels of DK READERS are aimed at different reading abilities, enabling you to choose the books that

are exactly right for your child:

Pre-level 1: Learning to read

Level 1: Beginning to read

Level 2: Beginning to read alone

Level 3: Reading alone

Level 4: Proficient readers

The “normal” age at which a child begins

to read can be anywhere from three to

eight years old Adult participation

through the lower levels is

very helpful for providing

encouragement, discussing

storylines, and sounding out

unfamiliar words.

No matter which level you

select, you can be sure

that you are helping your

child learn to read, then

read to learn!
