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 160 books for children and teachers. He is series editor
to Collins Big Cat.
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 childÕs interest while developing his
or her reading skills, general knowledge, and love of reading.
The Þve 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: ProÞcient readers
The ÒnormalÓ 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!
