“The simple, funny stories in this book series have words and pictures that help children succeed at reading — even the very first time. Every book includes advice to help you guide and support new readers.” — LEARNING MAGAZINE

WHO are brand-new readers? Brand-new readers are children in pre-K to first grade who are just learning to read and who will gain confidence when they succeed the first time they try. “The Brand New Readers® series is one of the best out there to motivate new readers.” — LUCY CALKINS Author of THE ART OF TEACHING READING and Professor of English Education, Teachers College, Columbia University

HOW do Brand New Readers® work? Simple design so that  a child can easily tell where to start and stop reading and can follow each sentence to its end without interruption

Appealing characters and funny stories

Short, patterned sentences that make it easy to recognize new words

Language that flows naturally, letting children draw on the way they speak  to read words they see

Monkey illustrations © 2000 by Scott Nash

Illustrations so clear that children can guess the words by looking at the pictures

Consistent placement of print that, like repetitive or rhythmic language, helps a child predict new words

PLUS!

Each Brand New Reader has a “story introduction” for you to read to your students before they read the book on their own and simple, common-sense suggestions for parents so they can help their brand-new readers at home.

VOCABULARY

FLUENCY

COMPREHENSION

Varied use of language that addresses many different topics, characters, and settings, complemented by clear and detailed illustrations, provides the needed support for developing vocabulary.

Repeated patterns and a variety of punctuation and dialogue make Brand New Readers ideal for increasing fluency.

Colorful illustrations, introductions for each story, and plots, conflicts, and resolutions familiar to young children aid comprehension.

About David Martin, chief consultant and primary creator of the Brand New Readers® series David Martin was a teacher for eighteen years and an early literacy support specialist for the Vermont Department of Education. It was while teaching reading to young children that he began to understand the needs of brand-new readers and began to create short, simple books for his students. These led to the development of the Brand New Readers series.
