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. I have extended the number of resources. Please visit my I See Sam TES Resources website at http://www.ISeeSam.Online for more. Book 30: The Shell New Words Sand, sell, shell - decodable Plot Summary Ann the Giraffe is at the beach. She hopes to catch and sell some fish. An octopus sees her fishing hook and plays a trick on her. He attaches the hook to a big shell and hides inside the shell. When Ann pulls out the shell, she is delighted. The octopus fears Ann will sell the shell with him in it. But Ann is frightened by the octopus, who takes Ann’s sheet and settles in the sea shell. 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.

It features a selection of Essential English worksheets which provide practice for crucial basic areas of knowledge for learners at Entry Level, like using numbers, writing the alphabet, spelling days and months correctly, and so on.

These worksheets are designed to be used time and again with different books. These are designed to be used in guided reading sessions. Many of the worksheets are designed in such a way that a student can complete them independently. However, to get the maximum out of this book, I would highly recommend these worksheets are used to consolidate the learning taking place in the classroom. Another use of this set of worksheets is additional homework sheets.
