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 wallpaperRe: 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.
