I remember David and Ann and Little Sally. Must have been the Catholic School version. I took a lot of kidding about the little Sally part.

Dick & Jane
Yes, I remember them! I still have my books where my parents had to sign a story I read each night. They are a treasure.

I had to refresh my memory about these...
...but they certainly bring back some memories.
My mother was sick with some kind of flu when I was born so I had a lot of developmental problems as a kid. Education and love of books did not come into play until a teacher Barbara Mitchell at the Earl Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada made me love books by putting a great deal of faith in me and awarding me a Memorial Scholarship in the name of her recently murdered daughter Michelle in 1976. So I had to look these readers up to see if they brought back any memories which they did. I do remember reading them in Wisconsin before we moved to Reno, Nevada in 1968 or so.

Does anyone remember Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories? Post WWII stories about children and their reactions to it. My mother read one to me every night until I was able to read them to her. She taught me to read when I was around 2 or 3. I've been a voracious reader ever since! |
JBlum...I defend Dick and Jane because I still believe that teaching little people how to phonetically sound out words is the best way to teach them to read.
Our grandchildren had that mastered way before school. Phonics is my choice of how to teach MOST children to read...then they skip right to sight reading. This is kinda dear to my heart and I am prepared to fight about it. ;) I loved teaching little ones to read. |
I still sell the few that are still available in print!
|
I remember the Bobbsey Twins. 2 sets of twins. I think they're still in print but probably at an exorbitant price. Anyway they would be too dated for our grandchildren.
|
Did anyone ever read "Five Little Peppers and How They Grew"?
I used to avidly read any Nancy Drew book. |

What made a big impression on me was when my kindergarten teacher told us the story of The Three Little Pigs. It was a great lesson about being prepared for what might happen in the future. (Plan ahead...think ahead.) |
