Sam Books The Sam Books were originally developed by Southwest Regional Laboratories (SWRL) and were used successfully in 15% of schools in the United States in the early ‘70s. More than a million children learned to read using The Program. ReadingLessons.com has incorporated the books into its lessons. The first twenty-four “I See Sam” books are used in Week Seven of the ReadingLessons program to encourage and assess fluency and comprehension. The books remain just as they were first developed. We have only updated the text font to fit in with the ReadingLessons.com style. The books are still the same cleverly designed little books that students, teachers and parents loved.
