Pattern for a Thneed

I think Dick and Jane are even older as I remember them from when I started school in 1941. I wonder if the books are still in use anywhere. Unfortunately, Dr. Suess was too late for me so I never had was exposed to his books.

Hi Jan,

You can still buy Dick, Jane, Spot and Buff at Walmarts. I saw them there last year. Those were the ones we used when I was learning to read in 1st grade back in 1949.

Thank you Tamar ,,, this was really interestimng to read. I started First grade once in Holland , where [as far as i remember] we started with letters written on the blackboard and copied into copybooks , i seem to remember their greenish dark cover more that i remember the inside !!!] , Than went to Israel, [ in the Kibboets we actually slept and ate and lived with the age group in children`s homes] the system there was closer to the Montesori system , i.e. we learned by subjects ,,, we had no specail books , we barely had enough paper. mirjam

Oh Gwendoline , waht delightful memories , and what a good example , to waht i alays claim, that reading parents have [mostly] reading children ,,,,,, There is a saying that one starts to educate a child

Mirjam, a friend who was a libarian gave two to the girls one year when DD #1 was almost four and could read them but Colleen was only a baby and so we kind of had a second round when she got to be able to read them. It was great fun to read these rhyming books to them when they were tiny.

They could both read before they went to school at five years of age and Shauna was only 8 when she researched the book on piano. God Bless gwen

LOL thanks for the advice. I think he will just be getting the socks that I already started for him.....
