My Weekly Reader
Do you remember getting Weekly Readers in grade school? The whole class would get them, and we would take time out of our schedule to read them together and learn new things about the world. I always looked forward to them, as well as the Weekly Reader book order that happened a couple times a year.
I was at an estate sale earlier this year, and discovered this bound collection of Weekly Readers from 1953 and 1954. I knew I had a treasure in my hands, and I only paid a dollar for it! (Current market value right now is around $50, I learned!)
I took my time reading this, one reader a day, and they were quite informative, covering such things as the current president and other political figures, possibility of space flight, technological advances, how things work, and nature, as well as teaching one about manners and courtesy.
It was a delightful collection to read.
