Ep 739 - Fun With Dick and Jane, and other stories
Episode description
See Andrew and Craig. See Andrew and Craig read. Read, Andrew and Craig, read!
The Dick and Jane characters are still widely known, even though their heyday as The Main Way American Kids Learn How To Read has long since passed. Join us for a discussion of how these (now public domain!) characters came to be, the method of reading instruction they embody, how they came to dominate American classrooms, and how their reign of terror was finally ended. Obviously, we all hope that Father gets the help he needs.
