Each new word throughout the program is repeated at least five times in the book in which it first appears and five more times in the next ten books. 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.
