Help your child develop a love for reading with these tips!

• Read consistently and frequently. Reading is like any other lifelong practice: you don’t have to maintain a particular level of intensity—you just have to do it often enough to develop the habit. • Talk often with your child about books. Make sure your child knows that you read for fun and for information. Model this behavior consistently and often, and talk about what you’re doing as you do it.

• Reading can be done

throughout the day.

• Encourage your child to express opinions. Using language and reasoning to support their beliefs will help your young reader learn why they like or dislike something. Knowing why helps them better understand their decisions.

Leave books in the car or take them outside on a nice day. Read cereal boxes, menus, recipes, and road signs together. It’s all good reading practice—and it shows children that words are everywhere! • Spend time with all kinds of books. Beloved books that you have read many times together, books that are easy for your child to read independently, books that are just right to read for now, and books that are “someday” books are all types that should be available for your child.

• Lead by example and get caught reading. Let your child enjoy listening to you read, reading along with you, echoing what you just read, or alternating reading words, lines, or pages with you.

• Choose aspirational reading challenges. Nervous about your child biting off more than they can chew? Don’t be—children can often get enough information from the images alone to make for an interesting and satisfying read.

Why Choose I Can Read!

• Make reading a fun activity! Go to bookstores and take time to browse the shelves together. Get your child a library card at your local branch and get to know your librarians.

• Easy to Understand Levels. I Can Read! books are organized into simple, color-coded levels that make advancing a seamless process. •• Hundreds of Stories. With over 600 titles, your child is sure to find the right book for them. • Readily Available. Over 15,000 retailers carry I Can Read! books! • Beloved Characters. There are over 40 characters, both modern and classic, for children to enjoy. • Trusted by Generations. Over 275 million I Can Read! books have been sold. •• Grows Passionate Readers. I Can Read! books invite children into the world of books and provide successful literacy experiences for beginning readers.

• Make reading possible by having books readily available. Have interesting books in your house, car, office, and any place you and your child spend time together. • Use words as often as you can with your child. Sing songs together, make up funny rhymes, play board games, and dress up and pretend to be someone else. All of these activities help children learn about language and become confident language users. Educational tips provided by Mary Lindeen.

Our Promise to Parents and Educators

Each I Can Read! book focuses attention on language, simple sentence structure, engaging stories told through action and dialogue, and words that children can sound out and read themselves.

Frog and Toad art © by Arnold Lobel

Caldecott Honor

Frog and Toad author Arnold Lobel is the only person ever to win both the Caldecott Honor and Newbery Honor for easy-to-read books.

HarperCollins Children’s Books publishes I Can Read! books to encourage children to want to read.

The direct correlation between the illustrations and the text provides clues that help young readers make sense of the story even when faced with new and challenging words. Reading many stories about their favorite familiar characters will encourage children to continue reading for years to come.

When Jane O’Connor was a small girl, every Sunday, when her grandma and great aunts came to visit, Jane would greet them at the door in a tutu and a pair of her mom’s high heels. She thought she looked très glamorous! Years later, while she was fixing dinner one night, the name Fancy Nancy flew into Jane’s head, and a star made her debut!

2010

In 2010, I Can Read titles began being released digitally. Today the list of I Can Read ebooks is over 300 titles long.

The 2010s

2013 Victoria Kann’s daughters could never seem to get enough of cupcakes or the color pink! One year, as an April Fools’ joke, Victoria told her family and friends that one of her daughters had turned pink from eating too many pink cupcakes—and so the idea for Pinkalicious was born!

2017

I Can Read introduces biographies into the program, complete with a timeline and historical photos.

When James Dean first saw Pete, he was a tiny black kitten in a shelter. Pete looked like he had been starved and his black fur was a mess. At first, James had no interest in Pete—black cats were bad luck, after all! But the scrawny little fellow stuck his paw out of the cage, wanting to play! James took Pete home. And even though James chose to paint Pete the Cat blue (his favorite color), James realizes now that black cats are actually very good luck.

Albert Einstein: A Curious Mind Teaching Guide

GRL Q

ABOUT THE BOOK: When Albert Einstein was a little boy growing up in Germany, he loved music, math, and science. He also loved to think and ask questions. He kept thinking and asking questions when he got older and went to college, got a job, and started a family. Eventually all of his wondering and experimenting helped him become a world-famous scientist. In fact, Albert Einstein’s ideas are still being used by scientists and inventors today.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What kinds of things did Albert Einstein enjoy doing when he was growing up? How might these interests and choices have helped him succeed as a scientist? Common Core State Standards (Reading: Informational Text): RIT.K.1, RIT.K.3, RIT.1.1, RIT.1.3, RIT.2.1, RIT.2.3, RIT.3.1, RIT.3.3

2. If you were introducing Albert Einstein to someone else, what would you say about him? Use details from the book to support your answer. Where could you look to find out more about him? What kinds of things would you like to know about his life? Common Core State Standards (Reading: Informational Text): RIT.K.2, RIT.1.2, RIT.2.2, RIT.3.1

EXTENSION ACTIVITIES: Curious Minds: The title tells readers that Albert Einstein had “a curious mind.” He spent his life asking questions and then trying to answer them. What do you wonder about? Make a list of questions you have about the world,

and then choose one to research. Write your question and then what you found in your research. Or, choose one of the questions from the book (pp 16–17), do some research, and write the answer to that question. Include a list of the resources you used to find your answer. Common Core State Standards (Writing): W.K.2, W.1.2, W.2.2, W.3.2

Try and Try Again: When Albert was 16, he took a test to get into college and failed. So he took the test again the next year and passed. He also had to keep trying to get the teaching job he wanted. Albert was willing to try again and again until he succeeded. Write about a time when you tried and failed at something before you finally succeeded. Include what you learned from that experience in your conclusion. Common Core State Standards (Writing): W.K.3, W.1.3, W.2.3, W.3.3

More Fun Facts: Reread the fun facts about Albert Einstein on page 30. Look for two more facts in the book that you think are especially interesting to know about this famous scientist. Now write your own fun facts page. Include three (or more!) interesting facts about you. Draw a picture or find a photo to go with each of your fun facts. Common Core State Standards (Writing): W.K.8, W.1.8, W.2.8, W.3.8

Rest Your Brain: Albert played the violin to “rest his brain.” Think about how that could have helped him feel calm and think better. Think about what you like to do when you need to rest your brain. Draw a picture that shows what you like to do for a quiet, calming time. Then write a paragraph to go with your picture that explains how that activity helps you calm down and think clearly and why others might want to try it. When you’re done writing, take a break and relax—your brain has earned a rest!
