A Note to Parents and Teachers
DK READERS is a compelling reading programme for children, designed in conjunction with leading literacy experts, including Cliff Moon M.Ed., Honorary Fellow of the University of Reading. Cliff Moon has spent many years as a teacher and teacher educator specializing in reading and has written more than 140 books for children and teachers. He reviews regularly for teachers’ journals.
Beautiful illustrations and superb full-colour 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 readLevel 1: Beginning to readLevel 2: Beginning to read aloneLevel 3: Reading aloneLevel 4: Proficient readers
The “normal” age at which a child begins to read can be anywhere from three to eight years old, so these levels are only a general guideline.
No matter which level you select, you can be sure that you are helping your child learn to read, then read to learn!
