If no new words are introduced in a book, the new words from the previous book are listed as review words. Throughout the program, review words are repeated at least four times each in the book in which they are listed. In 1972, the federally funded Southwest Regional Laboratory for Educational Development & Research and Ginn and Company published The Sam Books of early readers as part of a Beginning Reading Program. Because it was federally funded, federal law required the program be placed in the public domain in 1977.
