I loveeeeee Dick and Jane books!!!! It’s easy for my 4yr old. All the words are easy to pronounce but great for getting kids ready for kindergarten.

I have fond memories of one of these books that I had as a kid. But I did remember them as being slightly inane. My son is just learning to read so I think it was probably pretty good for him, but one does feel a bit silly reading it out loud. See. See Jane. See Jane there! Ugh

Still helping children learn to read

Downloaded for my 5 yr old granddaughter. I used Dick and Jane to teach my children born in early 90s to read as I remembered the feeling of pride I received as a child that I could actually read these books by myself. my daughter has spent plenty on new easy reading books for granddaughter but she wasn't getting more than a few words read before losing interest. she sat down with this on my Kindle and read it in one sitting occasionally spelling out words she wasn't familiar with for me to help. She was so excited that she could read this by herself that she insisted we download all Dick & Jane books available. The repetition of easy words combined with vividly colored pictures kept her turning pages just like it did with my children. I especially love how the book adds only a couple of new words to each chapter while repeating others building up a sizeable vocabulary by the end of the book. Sometimes the old methods just work the best!

although this book appeared popular, I didn't really like the format and sentence structure that was used. I felt like the fluency was hard to follow with and that it was just repeated structure.I decided to read it because it seemed like it would fit a beginning reader nicely with the use of pictures and little amount of words but I was not impressed, personally.

Super cute book

[Janice · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like the original books much better. I suppose they are no longer available. I do not remember who I got these from but today is the first time I have compared them to the old ones. For teaching purposes, they did not complete a list of words in the back like in the old time readers. These lists tell you which words will be new to the children if they have read previous books of the series. It also helps keep the books in order so you know what level each book should be introduced.

I have taught many children to read using the Sally, Dick and Jane Readers. But mine are falling apart.

Kind of weird and disjointed. Easy sight words, but I feel the sentences could have been more formative.

Notes:
these are the best early readers available
repetitive vocabulary with family-based 'stories'
beautiful illustrations
(maybe not a 5 star book but in this category these books shine!)

This is a great series for first time readers. I was really impressed with how quickly my daughter started reading the words.

Almost too easy, even for my kindergartner.

This was always fun to read.
