Product Information

Unless a child us taught (or works it out) how written symbols relate to spoken sounds they are limited. But we found alongside the teachers expertly teaching phonics then my son made really good progress with reading. However, Peter still goes out to help Daddy, or actively plays with a ball, while Jane stays indoors to help Mummy, passively watches Peter, or plays with her doll.

So it is interesting to look through the original and revised versions of the books to try to understand what it was about the 1960s books that was deemed unacceptable in the 1970s. I f you flip through the pages of a 1970s revised edition, it will still feel pretty modern today ( which the first version absolutely does not ). Key Words with Peter and Jane is a highly trusted, bestselling reading scheme using high frequency words in the English language as a foundation to reading successfully.There's a World of books to choose from such as: Children's Books, Range includes Baby Books (0-3), Books for Toddlers (3-5), Early Readers (5-7), Childrens Story books (7-11), Young Teens (11-14), Young Adults (14-16) and Childrens Educational Books. This is why Peter and Jane in the 1960s books seem to have only one main outfit each – a white frock and yellow cardie for Jane and shorts and red jumper for Peter.

Or is it that those years, between the mid-sixties and early seventies saw exceptionally dramatic social change for families. Whereas in the 1960s version he might watch with detached indulgence the scenes involving Mummy and the children, in the 1970s version he participtes more actively.Few changes have been made to the books since the 1970s, and they may be considered a source of social history. Visitors to the De La Warr pavilion – itself a wonderful mid-century construction, like a grand ocean liner that has run aground on Bexhill’s pebbled beach – will doubtless be pulled to the Ladybird exhibition by nostalgia. Once accepted, though, you could find yourself doing a whole series, which meant 10 books or 240 images.
