I painstakingly assembled this graphic to give an idea of the first "reader" those of my generation were exposed to. As I opined in the graphic, memories of Dick and Jane was the introduction given to little boys and girls of my generation in many school districts across America. Learning to read was a joy as we read the adventures of Dick, Jane, Mother, Father, Spot, and Puff. Even as I realize that relatively few of my generation are on the computer, I would be interested in knowing if any of our more adventurous computer users from my generation were also exposed to this childhood treasure.
