Thank you for compiling this research! One of my main focuses recently is finding out more about the earliest modern education systems and this post is super helpful for analyzing the early/colonial American historical context!
I highly recommend Caliban and the Witch. It's not about education specifically, but I feel like it's overall analytical framework and thesis are really helpful in structuring one's thoughts about how women were forced into certain types of jobs (like education) during the transition to capitalism.
Love this selection of books (especially Don't Hug Doug)! All I know about primers is from the Little House series so this was really eye-opening and fascinating to learn about!
If you do plan on celebrating colors (and you don't feel like making them yourself), you can check out your local Indian store and see if they still have some.
So smart! Making my own looks fun and ambitious. I’ll check out my closest Indian store.
I’ve been thinking of reading Little House series to my kids next as our bedtime chapter books but it’s been SO long since I’ve read it I’m not sure they’d love it or not. Happy you liked reading about Primers! It’s pretty fascinating to research.

You are welcome! I feel like I barely scratched the tip of the iceberg. So much to learn still.

We love Don't' Hug Doug! Such a good one.
Us too! I love the way Doug teaches us all and after the first time we read it my eldest used some of the tools and it made me so proud!
The BARBIE meme, HAHAHA! Seriously though, thank you for capturing those early primers. SO interesting!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the recap and the BARBIE meme
I love alphabet primers and this history is FASCINATING!
Aren’t they lovely?! And girl, there was SO MUCH more amazing history I feel I hardly did it justice. It could be a 12 part series 😂
