A Note to Parents
DK READERS is a compelling program for beginning
readers, designed in conjunction with leading literacy
experts, including Dr. Linda Gambrell, Distinguished
Professor of Education at Clemson University. Dr. Gambrell
has served as President of the National Reading
Conference, the College Reading Association, and
the International Reading Association.
Beautiful illustrations and superb full-color
photographs combine with engaging, easy-to-read stories
to offer a fresh approach to each subject in the series.
Each DK READER is guaranteed to capture a childÕs
interest while developing his or her reading skills,
general knowledge, and love of reading.
The Þve levels of DK READERS are aimed at different
reading abilities, enabling you to choose the books that
are exactly right for your child:
Pre-level 1:Learning to read
Level 1: Beginning to read
Level 2: Beginning to read alone
Level 3: Reading alone
Level 4: ProÞcient readers
The ÒnormalÓ age at which a child begins
to read can be anywhere from three to eight
years old. Adult participation through the
lower levels is very helpful for providing
encouragement, discussing storylines,
and sounding out unfamiliar words.
No matter which level you select, you
can be sure that you are helping your child
learn to read, then read to learn! r-

Pa heard that many farming
families are moving west to
Oregon Territory.
TheyÕre looking for free,
open land and a new start.
Since times are tough and our
little plot of land canÕt produce
many crops, weÕre leaving, too.
Pa told us at supper.
I canÕt sleep.

Friendship in a quilt
Friendship quilts were
a popular parting gift.
Friends sewed their
names onto the quiltsÕ
colorful squares.
Ma cried when friends gave her
a friendship quilt.
Pa had tears in his eyes, too.
I wondered why everyone was
so sad.
Ma told me later that we might
not see many of these people
ever again.
I didnÕt want to believe her,
but Ma never lies.

First traffic jams
With hundreds of
wagons heading west
at one time, slower-
moving wagons caused
long stretches of traffic.
WeÕve split up into groups of

Each train includes men with

I have seen Indians
from far away
a few times, but today I saw
my first Indian up close.
He was tall, thin, and had
dark hair and skin.
He wore leather and feathers.
He offered us buffalo meat.
Ma gave him some blankets
in return.
Buffalo stampede
Travelers had more
to fear from buffalo
than from Indians.
A stampede could
trample them to death.

Meals on the trail
are different than
they were back home.
Most days, we eat cornmeal,
beans, or rice, served with
bacon or dried beef.
On windy or rainy days,
we canÕt start fires, so
everyone has cold m

South Pass
South Pass was
a 12-mile (19 km) wide
trail through the
otherwise impassable
Rocky Mountains.
To get down, we tie rope to a tree
and then the back of the wagon.
Then we slowly let out the rope.
The Rocky Mountains are too steep.
Luckily, we used a flat, wide path
through them called South Pass.
Oregon Territory is close!

Seeing the elephant
Pioneers would say
ÒIÕve seen the elephantÓ
when they met illness
and death along
the trail.
Others have been struck by
lightning, shot while hunting,
drowned in river crossings, and
killed by wagons and buffalo.
The trail is filled with goodbyes.
Today, Lizzie and her fam
set off on another path
to a different part of
Oregon Territory.
I will miss her.

Pioneer facts
In 1805, Meriwether Lewis and William
Clark were the first explorers from the
United States to reach Oregon Territory.
Other explorers, fur trappers, church
people, and settlers followed afterward,
finding better routes from the east to the
west coasts of America.
About 200,000 pioneers traveled
west along the Oregon Trail.
At first, people used maps and
guides to find their way. Later
on, they just followed the well-
worn ruts from the earlier
pioneersÕ wagon wheels.
Pioneers were called Òemigrants.Ó
This was because the Oregon Territory
was not yet part of the United States.
An emigrant is someone who leaves
one country and settles in another.
Oregon Territory was later divided into
the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
small parts of Wyoming and Montana, as
well as much of British Columbia, Canada.
Pioneers had fast food, too! Many pionee
favorite food was the johnnycake, which
was like a fluffy pancake. Pioneers could
fold them and put them in their pockets
until they were ready to eat them. m
