Pedagogy

I am somewhat confused. I read the Dick and Jane entry, & figured it was a look & say-method set of readers, & thus expected Alice and Jerry to be, in contrast, involved with phonetics. However, I see nothing indicating this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:61FE:D01F:92B3:2833 (talk) 18:29, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alice & Jerry was a direct competitor to Dick & Jane. Both were designed to be taught using "Look & Say" method, as that was the educational trend of that time. Neither series is Phonics-based. I have updated the A&J web page to note this. 108.18.150.7 (talk) 14:30, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
