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

By	tvtv3 "tvtv3" (Sorento, IL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginning reader., August 26, 2007

By	D. D. E Middleton "Professor M" (Radnor, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars great companion to "Storybook Treasury of Dick and Jane..., February 1, 2005

By	J. Stout (Portsmouth, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

and Friends." My daughter has been learning to read with the hardback book that was published more recently. I discovered this set of paperbacks contains very similar stories with the same set of limited vocabulary words. Some of the stories are very different than those in the hardback, but some are completely new.
"Sally" is the only one of these stories that it very close to the hardback, so this set is not a waste of money.
