Kitson Jazynka - National Geographic Readers: Buzz Aldrin (L3)

Children are naturally curious about the world around them, and
curiosity is a powerful motivation for reading. Studies show that
informational reading is critical to success in school. National
Geographic Kids Readers allow you to feed your childrens interests
and create readers who not only can read, but also want to read!

To sustain childrens excitement about reading, we have created a
special program called NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC KIDS SUPER READERS.
As kids read each National Geographic Kids Reader, they cross
off its picture on a free National Geographic Kids Super Readers
poster that parents can download from natgeokids.com/superreaders.

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
activities, quizzes and games, fascinating excerpts, and sneak
previews of upcoming books.

The National Geographic Kids 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,

Mariam Jean Dreher

For kids everywhere who dream big K. J.

Buzz Aldrin is a famous astronaut.
In 1969, he flew to the moon on a
mission (MIH- shun) called Apollo

That mission made history when he and
another astronaut walked on the moon.
Afterward he blasted back to Earth to
share what hed learned. Since then,
Aldrin has devoted his life to studying
space travel and teaching others about it.

Shoot for the moon; you
might get there.

Edwin Aldrin, Jr., was born on January 20,
1930. He grew up in Montclair, New
Jersey, U.S.A.

Aldrin as a boy

When he was a toddler, everyone in
his family called him Brother. His
sister Fay Ann couldnt pronounce the
word brother. She called him Buzzer
instead. So his family gave him a new
nickname: Buzz.
