Dick and Jane readers fade from memory at NIU symposium
Louise McNutt and Altine Hahn recall the Dick and Jane series born in the 1930s and published by Scott Foresman. They discuss editors’ rigor, learning plans, and enduring goals of making reading fun, while acknowledging criticism for sexism and racism as attitudes changed, leading to the 1970s discontinuation.
