National Geographic Kids Readers: Woof!

National Geographic Kids Readers: Woof!

National Kids Geographic

Kids will dig learning all about dogs in this new National Geographic Kids Reader.The level 3 text provides accessible yet wide-ranging information for fluent readers. Plus, the book includes 100 fun facts for quick and quirky information on all kinds of dogs, from tiny Chihuahuas to gargantuan Great Danes! The Fact Readers bridge the gap between fun knowledge nuggets and informative sustained reading.

Children are naturally curious about the world around them, and

curiosity is a powerful motivation for reading. Studies show that

informational reading is critical to success in school. National

Geographic Kids Readers allow you to feed your children’s interests

and create readers who not only can read, but also want to read!

To sustain children’s excitement about reading, we have created a

special program called NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC KIDS SUPER READERS.

As kids read each National Geographic Kids Reader, they cross

off its picture on a free National Geographic Kids Super Readers

poster that parents can download from kids.nationalgeographic.com/ superreaders (http://www.kids.nationalgeographic.com/superreaders).

Throughout the process, kids and parents go to the website and

download specially designated prizes that reward their effort. Kids

can have even more reading fun online, with lively book-related

activities, quizzes and games, fascinating excerpts, and sneak

previews of upcoming books.

The National Geographic Kids Super Readers program appeals to

kids’ love of accomplishment while providing them with incentives

to keep reading. When the reading experience is fun, children learn

more and achieve more. What could be better than that?

Sincerely,

Mariam Jean Dreher

Professor of Reading Education

In memory of Kerry and her unwavering love, loyalty, and comfort. Thank you for being the best dog a girl could have. —E.C.
