guaranteed to capture a childs interest while developing his

The fve 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

No matter which level you
select, you can be sure that you
are helping your child learn to
read, then read to learn!
