DickandJane

**//Dick and Jane//** were the main characters in popular Basal readers written by William S. Gray and published by Scott Foresman, that were used to teach children to read from the 1930s through to the 1970s in the United States.

The books relied on the whole word or sight word reading method, using phrases like, "Oh, see. Oh, see Jane. Funny, funny Jane," but they did not totally ignore phonics.
