Default Re: Batten down the hatches!

Hi, does anyone recall lining up against the inside walls of the hallways in school. I recall doing that, but do not recall why.

I recall some people building bomb shelters in their backyards.

Dick and Jane brings back many memories. Look, look look. See Jane. See Dick. Look Dick. etc. I wonder if the word phonetics was discovered during that time frame.

Once took a course in college on the importance of teaching children how to read using phonetics. I could not afford the cards and spent numerous hours creating them. When they were completed I eagerly went to teach my son how to read phonetically. I imagined him being way ahead of the other students.

To make a long story short, he wanted nothing to do with phonetics and learned how to read using the Dick and Jane series I still had.

Memories ....
