About the creators of the series	What makes a book right for first-time readers? What makes a book just right for children who are just beginning to read? Here’s what teachers know and what we’ve learned: New readers should be able to read a book successfully the first time they try. That means short, simple stories written and illustrated so clearly that new readers can’t help but succeed. Even the easiest books have to be worth reading. They have to be interesting and fun. They have to reward the child’s efforts to read. They have to inspire him to read -- and reread. Teachers also know how hard it is to find books like this. Books that are just right. Good books. But we know that you’re always looking, and because we think they’ll fit right into your reading program and support your use of the best early literacy practices, we’d like you to consider Brand New Readers.

Here are some ideas: Read Brand New Readers aloud and ask children to help with words they know or can guess by following the pictures. Often you will find that -- by design -- when children describe what they see pictured in a Brand New Reader, they have also spoken aloud the text! Point this out and watch amazement and pride light up their faces. Suddenly, reading doesn’t seem so hard. In fact, they’re already readers! Encourage children to extend the stories with their own writing and drawing. Ask them what might happen to the character after the story ends. Your students may even want to write their own eight-line stories about their favorite characters. Organize a “readers’ theater” and encourage children to act out the stories in the books. Because Brand New Readers feature short and memorable stories, children can -- with little preparation or practice -- transform these stories into their own little plays. Kids may also want to make up plays that put the characters from the series into imagined situations. Encourage children to read Brand New Readers aloud to younger siblings, parents, and grandparents to show off their emerging reading skills. Create flannel-board stories based on stories in the series. How else can Brand New Readers help in the classroom? We can’t wait to hear your ideas! Click here to TRY A BRAND NEW READER!
