Did you have Dick, Jane, Sally and Spot?? Run Spot Run.

[fuzzybuddy]

Ol' Dick and Jane did a lot of 'see' others run, run. See Sally run, run. See Spot run.
Did you have a Dick and Jane Reader?

 

[katlupe]

Did Mrs. Kirby buy any mushrooms?

 

[Georgiagranny]

First grade. My teacher was Mrs. Sendek. Loved her!

 

[CallMeKate]

Yep... I think those readers started in the early 30s and were used at least through the late 60s... my 1st grade was 1963 so ol' Dick, Jane, and Spot were part of my childhood for sure.

 

[JBR]

Where did you find that, RadishRose?

 

[Flarbalard]

I think so. What I remember of the story line was they went for a picnic in a park. That's pretty good for me, I don't remember the plots of movies we watched on tv last week--maybe the writing was better.

 

[Pappy]

Don’t recall these but we did get a children’s paper called, I think, Weekly Reader.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Did Mrs. Kirby buy any mushrooms?

Better question. Did Mrs. Kirby EAT the mushrooms.

 

[jujube]

Yes, we had those. I also used to have the Catholic school edition of one of the Dick and Jane books. They still ran a lot but they wore uniforms and prayed quite a bit. The nuns showed up, too.

 

[Buckeye]

Did Mrs. Kirby buy any mushrooms?

Doubt it. It was 1952 and she was not a young "college age" woman at the time.

[RadishRose]

Where did you find that, RadishRose?

Pinterest. I think I searched for Dick and Jane parodies. Most are not suitable to post here.

Oh, I loved My Weekly Reader!

Anyone remember Goofus and Gallant in the HighLights for Children magazines?

 

[Murrmurr]

I didn't have any, but my 1st-grade classroom did. I could read very well by 1st grade, but I really liked the illustrations.

I learned to read early because my mom read to me every day, and she always ran her finger under the words as she read. Probly one of the reasons I followed along so well was because her fingernail polish was so pretty.

Also, my grampa let me sit on his lap while he read the newspaper every morning and he'd point at words he was sure I didn't know, sound them out for me, and then tell me what they meant.

 

[hearlady]

Yes. First grade.

I think that was also connected to Scholastic Book Club and they offered some good books for kids. I remember this one:

 

[Gardenlover]

Yes, I did. My first grade teacher was Ms. Dollar

I learned so much from Goofus and Gallant.

Thank you for recalling the memories.
