We Play (Read With Dick and Jane) Paperback – January 19, 2004

Great to read for small kids to learn

I bought this to show my son what I had to read in school when I was a little girl. Wayyyyyy too simple but funny for us to look at!!

The kids read these and seem to like them. They are for beginner readers. They are a great value for the money.

Just as I remember as a child. Though our grandson prefers more up to date characters.

Bought for my granddaughter and we are enjoying it. She is learning to read.

My mom taught me how to read by using these books, I taught my daughters, who are now 30 and 27 years old, how to read with the help of these books, and now I am teaching my five and seven year old foster sons how to read with the help of these books. They are wonderful and timeless. I highly recommend that you download your copies today!

These type books were the first to come to mind when I thought of teaching my 5 year old to read. It's full of sight words and he enjoys being a big boy and reading to mommy and daddy. Only give it 4 stars because the pictures are still dated and I wish the little boy was named Pete or something other than Dick.

Great book for a beginning reader in kindergarten. They kept sending home paper books that were copied stapled and were just too easy when my granddaughter read them. i remembered these books from my early reading days and was very happy to buy it for my granddaughter. While she can sound out most words that aren't "sight" words, some words she needed help with. But they were used enough in each chapter so she did not easily forget. Words such as "boat", "father", etc. She really picked up speed after reading these.

Good for kids to start reading with

great books for beginners

Classic book from back in the days. This is better than phonics when it comes to teaching kids to read: my 5 year old read this pretty much on his own first time round. The secret is in its use of repetition and in the gradual introduction of hard words. The pictures are brilliant, but the paper is light and is not as hard-wearing as the fifties/sixties copies that I read growing up.

Dick & Jane helped my ASD son to use his good skill for sight reading to learn to read. He was lousy at phonics (even tho we still did them) but great at sight reading, so we went back to the old-school sight readers that I grew up on & he became a very confident reader. Repetitive words might seem dull to mom/dad but it increases reading confidence by familiarity of words. Worked great for us!
