DK READERS is a compelling program for beginning readers. The series is 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. He has recently been elected to serve as President of the International Reading Association.

The series of books have beautiful illustrations and superb full-color photographs. The whole series 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, 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!
