Yeah, I'm fairly sure he had a PhD in English, but I don't remember the
university. I guess I would consider that English teaching and education in
that era had a LOT to do with literature, a minimal amount to do with
teaching writing (and directed mostly to high school and college
SRA has ALWAYS been all about phonics.

Actually the term whole language wasn't even coined until the early to
mid-eighties. What you may be referring to is the whole WORD approach which
was developed and widely used in the 50s and very early 60s by basal
programs such as Scott Foresman. However, as early as the very early 60s,
Yup, Dick and Jane and Sally lived in the Scott Foresman readers through at
least the first 5 books designated as first grade books. I think one of
their pets was Fluffy. Houghton Muffin had Jack and Janet.

I agree that it's a fantastic resource, especially if you're just starting
implementing WW. You should also read his book, which I THINK is called The
Writing Workshop and is a beginner's dream companion! All of his books are
very high-quality, but he did a wonderful job setting it all out
The good thing about MCP is that they at least started including sentences
(thereby some syntax and semantics) early in the program allowing the
children to use multiple decoding tools, which is more than I can say for
the current phonics in isolation thoughts.

Yup, DISTAR was the forerunner of Reading Mastery, which has changed very
little in the last few decades. Both DISTAR and Open Court were published by
SRA. DISTAR was developed in the 60s and published originally in either the
late 60s or early 70s.

DISTAR also used different orthographic representations (different symbols,
kind of like linguists use to represent sounds) when letters or combinations
of letters made different sounds. So there'd be two different
representations of /th/, /c/, /g/, and of course all the vowel combinations.

I taught in 70's and used the Sullivan phonics program. An awful
self-correcting workbook where the kids filled in the missing letters to
complete sentences like I am a man The man has a pan.
