5.0 out of 5 stars The Classics Are Back., November 4, 2003

Millions of Americans grew up learning to read with help from the Dick and Jane stories. The stories were the standard reading texts in first grade for several generations. Then in the mid-1980s the education elite didn't think the stories were very good anymore: they weren't multi-cultural and didn't reflect America. So, most of those texts are gone now. Though the stories are dated, they had become part of our cultural heritage, and it was bitter-sweet to see them go.

However, many of the stories have now been released in a serial form of chapter books. Not all are in the series, but many are. Parents can now help their children learn to read using the same stories they learned to read with.

WE LOOK is the Dick and Jane story I remember the best because of that one great big word, LOOK. Besides helping children read, the books also serve as a historical guide in illustrating how society has changed since they were first published (the clothes, cars, toys, etc.). The books are worth looking at if for no other reason than that.

If your child is ready to read, I recommend you take they back to the place where many of us started...with Dick and Jane. If you read the books in developmental order (listed in the back of the book), the child develops confidence in reading.

I bought the series for my granddaughter this summer (after her kindergarten experience). As she finished each book, I presented her with the next book. Start your child with the book "Dick and Jane, We Look". My granddaughter is going off to first grade with confidence and pride!!

By the way, I am a college professor of early childhood education.

Teaches a child basic words through reading them over and over. The best way to learn. Very easy to start off with. Good reading aid.
