I think schools should bring these books back for 1st graders.

Old School

The book was in good condition; my 4 yr old enjoys it and can read most of the words.

All Schools Should Have These Books For Early Reading !

I learned how to read from the "Dick & Jane" books....early 1960's They are fun to read. This is why I purchased this book and other "Dick & Jane" books for my son. I just received the book(s) in the mail two days ago. My son has picked up on the words and stories very quickly. His confidence has built up in the last two days...he enjoys reading these books. He will be reading these books all summer long. When he starts Kindergarten in September, i'm sure his school teacher will be impressed. BRING THESE BOOKS BACK INTO THE SCHOOLS!

My daughter (age 4) loves Dick and Jane

The stories in "Go Away, Spot" are not included in "Storybook Treasury of Dick and Jane and Friends," until some other books in this series. These books have been great for my daughter learning how to read. I thought she would find the stories to be boring because of the controlled vocabulary (stories repeat the same few words over and over), but the illustrations keep her motivated to read the story. These books have been a great confidence builder. Reading these books has helped her develp an identity of being a reader.

A True Classic

I grew up with the great adventures of DICK and JANE. I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She is in Kindergarten and knows a great deal of sight words. She is capable of reading this on her own, and she absolutely loves it. I too am a teacher, and I feel that the basic reading skills that Dick and Jane teach will help all children to become better readers.
