Real Dragons! (National Geographic Readers Level 1 Co-reader)

Engagingly written with vibrant photographs and illustrations, budding readers are bound to find a book they want to read! The readers are almost magazine-like in the quality of the photos and the short segments of interesting text. The information is concise and does not overload the children as they read, which enables them to easily read through a book with a sense of accomplishment, while learning great information.  

Level 1 books are written for new readers and are available in two options: Level 1 Co-Read and Level 1. The Level 1 Co-Read titles identify one page for the parent/older sibling to read and the opposite side for the budding reader. The parent/sibling side provides the parent an opportunity to model reading more challenging words and provides interesting topical information to create interest. Level 1 Readers focus on advancing independent reading and include occasional side notes to be read for more information. Some titles (typically the Science titles) include easy to do activities to engage young learners. Targets PK-1^st grade although content and skills may be appropriate for a slightly older reader who needs to build fluency.
