Dick and Jane: We Play and Pretend - Classic Children's Book for Early Reading & Imagination Development | Perfect for Bedtime Stories, Classroom Learning & Family Bonding

I read the Dick and Jane books in the mid 1960’s. I was 5 years old then. It was part of the reading curriculum in school. How I just love the characters: Dick, Jane, Sally, and Spot. The books inspired me to read because it made reading so easy. You see sight words repeated from page to page. Yes, the book is, like, Dr. Seuss. I bought Dr. Seuss books for my daughters to read. I was not impressed with the books. The Dick and Jane books are the ones I wanted to get my hands on. At the time, the internet did not exist.Then, I had my first grandchild. I watched Marie one weekend and thought about her reading level. She was 5 years old then. I thought, I need to get my hands on the Dick and Jane books. I bought one book. I said, “Here you go, Marie. Do you want to read the book?” She opened the book and started reading. There were words here and there that she did not recognize. I was thrilled. Marie was at a good reading level for her age and the book made it challenging for her. I bought an additional 7 Dick and Jane books.My oldest daughter, Tanisha, has 4 kids. Marie is the oldest and Jack is the second oldest. Jack also read the Dick and Jane books. Well, my youngest daughter, Marlena, has two boys. Marlena asked Tanisha if she can borrow the Dick and Jane books. Marlena has two boys, age, 4 and 2. While Tanisha retrieved the books from the shelf, she told Marlena, “I want these books back”. She told Marlena this three times. Tanisha told Marlena, “I have two younger kids (2 and 1 year old) that will be reading the books.
