Yes, I remember Dick and Jane. Wonderful reading. I have a 5yr old, and we read the Dr. Seuss books together. The ryhming and repitition of the words help her identify them throughout the book. She then recognizes the same words in other reading material.

I learned how to read on Dick and Jane. Nowadays, I have no clue, but I do know that there isn't enough emphasis put on reading like when I was a kid (ok, that sounded lame, but I remembering doing reading exercises multiple times a day, every day).

I read a book called Our Freinds that had Dick and Jane in it before I went to school. When I actually went to school they used "The Letter People" to teach how to read. Which made a lightbulb click in my head (oh the letters make sounds not just words)

I remember Dick, Jane and Spot the dog very well! They were the standard primers.
Today, different schools use different things. My grand daughter will begin to learn to read this year, in pre-school. They are going to use the phonetic method. Too early, if you ask me! I doubt there are any "standard" readers anymore. Seems to different from system to system and state to state.

We on no account used Dick and Jane. We had different books that presented new vocabulary words for us. I do have an as much as date e book positioned out by somebody in Canada who offered the rights to the D and J books. Or they might have already been interior the conventional public area and that's how the did it. they have been real to the watercolor and drawings and that they are very thrilling. Edit: The kin offered a ok automobile. Dick has 2 boys and a sparkling canine named Spot. Grandma (mom) is on my own as Dad died and he or she bought the farm to a chemical organization and he or she is fairly envolved along with her bowling group. Sally is into arobics , sky diving and on no account married. i think of Jane is a stay at homestead mom. the unique animals have all exceeded on. My e book is in storage and that i don't keep in mind something.

They now use animated litaracy, it's a neat program. my sister is translating it into german. they also use specific levels of books, and now they focus more on morals instead of Dick and Jane.

Oh yeah. They now have a hardback collected volume for all of us nostalgic boomers. I don't know what the kids read today, but it has to be better than all of that repetitive nonsense of D & J.
