Consistent placement

of print that, like repetitive

or rhythmic language,
helps a child predict
new words

PLUS!

Short patterned sentences

that make it easy to
recognize new words

Language that flows

naturally, letting children
draw on the way they speak 
to read words they see

Each Brand New Reader has a story introduction

for you to read to your students before they read
the book on their own and simple, common-sense
suggestions for parents so they can help their
brand-new readers at home.

VOCABULARY

FLUENCY

COMPREHENSION

Varied use of language

that addresses many
different topics, characters,
and settings, complemented
by clear and detailed
illustrations, provides
the needed support for
developing vocabulary.

Repeated patterns and a

variety of punctuation and
dialogue make Brand New
Readers ideal for increasing
fluency.

Colorful illustrations,
introductions for each story,
and plots, conflicts, and
resolutions familiar to young
children aid comprehension.

About David Martin, chief consultant and

primary creator of the Brand New Readers series
David Martin was a teacher for eighteen years and an early literacy support specialist for the Vermont Department of
Education. It was while teaching reading to young children that he began to understand the needs of brand-new readers
and began to create short, simple books for his students. These led to the development of the Brand New Readers series.
