Re: First reading book at school
I never had a first reading book at school because I could already ready read and write when I started school at the age of five. I remember being put at the back of class and told to amuse myself during the reading and writing lessons. I can remember my favourite book was Alice, Thomas and Jane by Enid Bagnold.Re: First reading book at school
My Dick and Dora book was the one you took home to wrap in wallpaper , or brown paper, if you had it. We read it in class, then took it home to do our reading at home. There were many books, containing many stories, of the seemingly interesting life of Dick and Dora . Further on in primary school it was the Reading Laboratory. You worked your way up the colours of the lab, until you got to the top and the end.Re: First reading book at school
Alice76, my first reading book was Dick & Dora too. I remember them going to Seatown on the train (that dates it- must have been the mid 50's !) and Dick & Dora both had seats by the window. There was somewhat a break in our education when the old school was demolished and a modern one built. During this time, we were housed in the Methodist and Episcopal church halls and facilities were pretty limited.Re: First reading book at school
I really do not remember but we had the village library at my CP. I do remember taking home two `simple books` already I think I had a basic grasp of the picture/word use in teaching-the evil one and the fool who married it gave me hell for being so childish.Re: First reading book at school
Re: First reading book at school
'Tip' about a brown and white terrier of that name. It was the first in a series, the sequels being 'Tip and Mitten' about the further adventures of Tip but bringing a tuxedo cat called Mitten into it and 'With Peter And Susan' who were Tip and Mitten's young owners.Re: First reading book at school
We had Peter and Jane with their dog Pat which was an Irish Setter.
