I, see, Sam

The 80 books in the series use systematic phonics to ensure that your beginning readers will get a great start in reading proficiency.

The books begin at a very simple level and gradually introduce new sounds and words until students have mastered all 44 phonemes (sounds) in the English language.

The books should be read in order, because the sounds and words in each book build upon those learned in previous books. It is important that students master each book before moving on to the next.
Each new word throughout the program is repeated at least 5 times in the book in which it first appears and 5 more times in the next 10 books.

Story Summary:
Mat the Rat gives Sam the Lion a cape and a crown. When Sam wears them, he thinks he can do anything he wants. He sees a calf and decides to play “bullfighter.” It is Sam, however, who gets caught in the cape. Mat helps untangle Sam, and Sam once more is king of the jungle.

How I learned to read English! Mom even made flashcards, and (due to the fact that Mom's artistic skills were limited to stick figures) Dad drew pictures of Mat, Sis, etc.

BTW, you can download dozens of these free books online!
