I’m a Reader series consists of so far nine books for new readers. Level 1 books include only a small amount of text in capital letters; with these books, the child will get confidence in her reading skills as the book advances easily. On level 2, the text is in lowercase letters, but the amount of text is still small. On level 3, the stories are longer and include chapters. The stories in the books deal with ordinary issues the children encounter in their daily lives: spending time with family and friends, going to school and playing with friends. At the same time, they are discussing values and teaching skills: good sportmanship, the importance of apologizing, appreciating others, and making a difference.
