Games
that turn reading into play!
innovativeKids
and Nora Gaydos extend the best-selling, award-winning Now I’m Reading!™
series!
Norwalk,
CT—January 2008 -- innovativeKids®,
the award-winning publisher of Hands-On ● Minds-On™ products for children, is
pleased to announce the launch of Now I’m Reading!™ GAMES!
The newest extension of Nora Gaydos’ award-winning Now I’m Reading!™
series, the first four Now I’m Reading!™ GAMES add a twist to the well known
games of Go Fish, War, Bingo, and Dominoes to make learning fun. Each hands-on, interactive set teaches and
builds essential reading- and math-readiness skills. The unique combination of book and game will
provide children with endless opportunities for skill-based learning, creative
discovery, and fun!
Author Nora Gaydos, who resides in Ridgefield, CT,
is a parent, author, and elementary school teacher who taught grades K-3 for
over ten years. As a teacher, she was
inspired to create the Now I’m Reading!™ program after seeing firsthand how
children learn to read. Her goal was to
build a series that was fun, motivating, and “just right” for beginning
readers. Now I’m Reading!™ combines the
best of both phonics and literature-based reading to encourage children to
build measurable skills and, more importantly, to feel immediate success! This proven step-by-step program guides
readers from their first read-along books to the excitement of independent
reading. Since the series launched in 2001 with the
publication of Animal Antics, level 1 and Amazing Animals,
level 2, over two and a half million books have been sold, making Now I’m
Reading!™ the leading beginning reading program in America!
Nora Gaydos is available for workshops, interviews,
book-signings, and classroom visits. A
Now I’m Reading!™ teachers guide that offers suggestions for utilizing the
series in the classroom is also available, as is a kit for booksellers who wish
to host their own Now I’m Reading!™ event.
