Guide

Children are naturally curious about the world around them, and curiosity

is a powerful motivation for readingand for success in school. Studies

show that by understanding relationships among words, children quickly

acquire new and interesting vocabulary. And the more they are able to

talk about the world around them, the more they want to learn!

As you read with your child, be sure to point out the vocabulary tree.

Discuss the categories of words and how they relate to one another.

Then, explore the text together. Encourage your child to point out each

of the vocabulary words as they appear in the text. Youll be surprised

how fast your early reader identifies content-rich vocabulary.

To sustain childrens excitement about reading, we have created a special

program called National Geographic Super Readers . As kids read

each National Geographic Reader, they cross off its picture on a free

National Geographic Super Readers poster that parents can download

from kids.nationalgeographic.com/superreader. Throughout the process,

kids and parents go to the website and download specially designated

prizes that reward their effort. Kids can have even more reading fun

online, with lively book-related quizzes and games, fascinating excerpts,

and sneak previews of upcoming books.

The National Geographic Super Readers program appeals to kids

love of accomplishment while providing them with incentives to keep

reading. When the reading experience is fun, children learn more and

achieve more. What could be better than that?

Sincerely,
