Describing her program Cindy said: “Dick, Jane, their family, friends and pets were part of growing up for over 85 million people who learned to read from the 1930s through the 1960s. They remain just about the only characters in the history of American primary education whose names have become household words. The primers that made these characters familiar to almost everyone have come to represent mid-century American culture, as well as collectors’ items. The program will be a nostalgic look at the history of these classic readers through the years, illustrated through the presenter’s collection of original books from the first published Dick and Jane primer in 1930 to the last multi-ethnic edition in 1965.”
