Memory Lane

Great books for K and 1st grades learning to read. I remember Dick and Jane from my elementary years. I haven't even seen it at my daughters school. Love the hardback. Makes it more likely for generations to come to enjoy it.

I must say, I was disappointed when I ordered this title. If you own the hardcover called "Life with Dick and Jane and friends", then don't order this book. This book is under a different title, but has the exact same stories in it. My son loves Dick and Jane, and we have all the huge hardcover books that Walmart sells, and this book has all the same stories in it. I was excited when I found this title, thinking it was something new, and that my son could continue reading from their books, but to my surprise, it's the same stories throughout. Exactly the same. I decided to keep this book, but to give as a classmates birthday gift that's in my son's class. I learned one thing, if you can't see the inside of the book, don't buy it, unless you know for sure what's in it. Other than this disappointment, Dick and Jane are wonderful books for children to learn to read. My son has excelled since learning to read these over the summer. He is now in the first grade, and is starting to read third grade levels. Don't get me wrong, these books are wonderful. But if you own some already, be careful about buying books that you can't thumb through, just to make sure you're not getting what you already own at home.
