What great memories!! I loved Dick and Jane, and Sally and Puff and Spot.....this is going to be a great wall hanging.

LOL I love the fabric but I hated Sally. I had a tough time learning to read and Sally was on the book I wanted to be reading but was unable to. Darn that Sally anyway!!!

It was John and Janet for me in the UK, but still gives you the warm fuzzy feelings thinking back like that. I actually didn't mind school in the early years, it was the last few I hated.

Awwwww what a good idea. I think many of us grew up on Dick & Jane.

Perhaps W.Va. was a backward state. I entered first grade in 1940 and the books we used had been printed in 1930. Peter and Peggy were the main characters and of course Mother and Father, and later, Baby. They are worn from lots of use. I also used them to teach my children to read.

Thanks for helping us to recollect our fond memories of the past.

I think my class was one of the last to learn to read with Dick and Jane. I remember being so excited when I could read that I wanted to go to the kindergarten room to read to the "little kids"! Mrs. Webster actually let me!

Can't wait to see what you create!
