Item Description
This item is a framed page (#18) taken from an actual 1956 copy of “The New We Look and See.” (the very first publication of “We Look and See” was in the 1930’s). You can see siblings, Dick, Jane and Sally having fun under a larger black umbrella! I learned how to read with these books (yes, I’m that old!).
Dick and Jane are the two main characters created by Zerna Sharp for a series of basal readers written by William S. Gray to teach children to read. The characters first appeared in the Elson-Gray Readers in 1930 and continued in a subsequent series of books through the final version in 1965… William Gray and Zerna Sharp worked together to develop readers that incorporated the whole-word or 'look-say' method of word recognition (also called sight reading). The Dick and Jane primers introduced new readers to one new word on each page and only five new words in each individual story.[wikipedia)
The books published in the first grade series were: Before We Read, We Look and See, We Work and Play, We Come and Go, Guess Who, Fun with Dick and Jane and Our New Friends
Page is in pristine condition, mounted on cardboard in a simple black frame and white mat..
Sweet nostalgia and quaint artwork..
Frame measures 8”X10", artwork roughly 5”X7”
