[quote=Anonymous]^^^^^Lots of people are under the impression that “Dick and Jane” relied only on sight words. This is not true. It was an excellent basal reader program which taught: phonics, sight words, comprehension, and other reading skills. Teachers were encouraged to talk about the pictures with the kids and ask them leading questions to develop thinking skills. The pictures were clever and funny to the kids. In the hands of a good teacher, this was an excellent program. It has been much maligned because most people think it was just “see/say”. It was not. [/quote]
