I See Sam Books are a series of early reader books developed to teach children in kindergarten to read. The original series, written in 1972, as part of Southwest Regional Educational Laboratory's (SWRL) Beginning Reading Program (BRP), contained 52 books.

Book 36: See Them

New Words
feel, not - Decodable

Plot Summary
Sis watches Mat begin to paint a bench and
when he runs off, she finishes the job. Later she
notices that she is covered with spots and thinks
that she is sick. She runs to show everyone her
spots. Mit and Sam are frightened and run away.
She feels better when a doctor discovers her
spots are only paint and he washes them all off.

Each new word throughout the program is repeated at
least five times in the book in which it first appears and
five more times in the next ten books.

The first book in the series starts with just 3 words: I, see, Sam. Every book or two adds a few words, until by book 52, the readers have read 95 different words. The SWRL Kindergarten Beginning Reading Program was first implemented in U.S. public schools in the early 1970's. Due to its tremendous success at achieving its goal of teaching young children to read, over the years the program has been copied, edited and/or revised by a number of individuals, institutions, and companies.
