English Words With Pictures LINK

Equating words and images is the major plot point of "Words and Pictures." Two high school Honors program teachers oversee a student debate on which is more important, images or the written word. In the process, the teachers fall in love. It sounds like a romantic comedy with a little heft to it, until you discover that one teacher is so repellent that you root against the relationship. Adding insult to injury, the debate itself is given little screen time to develop.

"Words and Pictures" has a helmer I greatly admire, suitably cast actors I enjoy and a plot that sounds intriguing. Rom-coms are the hardest genre to employ without failure, but director Fred Schepisi made two successful ones: "I.Q.," which I liked, and "Roxanne," which I adore. Clive Owen had a roguish charm in "Duplicity" and Juliette Binoche provided what little convincing romance there was to be had in "The English Patient." As a writer whose drawing skill makes Dr. Seuss look like Frank Miller, I was all set to root for words to win the big debate.

The Dirty Words Pictures juxtapose graffiti swear words and slogans with disturbing images of urban life and the bleak presence of the artists themselves. Relentlessly exploring aspects of 20th century turmoil, the pictures reveal much about the changing face of urban living and shifting attitudes towards sexuality.

It began in 1970 as, effectively, a spin-off from the schools programme Look and Read - which was already providing the same type of practice and encouragement for slightly older children, from the same core production team. In its first few years Words and Pictures followed the structure of its older cousin quite closely, with serialised stories (told with real actors in Look and Read but with puppets in Words and Pictures) for children to follow accompanied by teaching sections in which the presenter and puppets tried out the phonics and reading skills they had learnt from the story.

Later the programme adopted a more open, magazine format, with a presenter in an area surrounded by books such as a bookshop, a library or just a television studio. Episodes would then feature a children's story book being read aloud and separate activities in the studio including songs, games and writing practice with a magic pencil showing how to draw a letter. Most programmes focus on a specific letter and the sound it makes. Some later episodes look at multiple-letter digraphs, and from the late 1990s special units expanded to cover long vowel sounds and longer consonant clusters.

The most frequently told story was The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, covered in different episodes in 1977, 1987 and 1996. The traditional story The Tale of the Turnip (or The Enormous Turnip) was also told in three different episodes, in 1978, 1983 and 1990. At least 10 stories from Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad books were told during the 1970s and 80s, with specially-made stop motion puppet animation by Bura and Hardwick. Several of the other stories were specially written for the programme and not published, except in the teacher's notes.

For most of the 1970s and 80s the human presenter of the series was accompanied a funny little animated man called Charlie, who would jump around the set bantering with the presenter and singing with the children. Later in the 1990s and 2000s the series saw a number of changes but its core as a programme encouraging reading for pleasure and teaching based on phonics (now synthetic phonics) has remained intact. Music for the series in the 1970s and 80s was generally performed by Ian Humphris and Paddy Kingsland.

Words and Pictures has long been held as one of the most popular schools programmes in Britain, constantly praised by teachers and fondly remembered by children. In the 1980s the series was estimated to be used by 88% of all infant schools in the country, with a regular audience of around 2 million schoolchildren[2]. In the late 1990s and early 2000s when the attention of teachers was moving away from traditional broadcasting and onto online and interactive resources, Words and Pictures was still reportedly used by 70% of all primary schools[3].

The second Words and Pictures story is a 20-part adventure about a vague young man called Sam Samson (played by Tony Robinson) who daydreams himself onto an island inhabited by little men called Boffs, where words and letters are an important part of life.

The Boffs put the letters spoken by their flock of Say-Birds into a Shopping Machine, which then produces food and everything else they need beginning with the letter that was entered. The first half of the story is about how the Say-Birds escape from captivity on Boffs' Island and fly away to nearby Gurglers' Island. The Gurglers are nice, friendly creatures, but mistrusted by the Boffs. In the second half of the story the Boffs and Gurglers try to get along together on Boffs' Island but things do not work out, and eventually even Sam is attacked by the distrustful Boffs.

Henry works in a bookshop[5] where he is helped by a tiny little animated man named Charlie, who can jump around the set and interact with Henry and any children who are visiting the bookshop. Charlie's voice was provided by Charles O'Rourke and the unusual movements he made were credited to 'Aniform'.

Each episode concentrated on one particular letter or digraph. There would be short fun animations about things beginning with the letter, such as a "vanishing van", and a demonstration of how to draw the letter by a large, disembodied pencil known as Magic Pencil - these demonstrations were originally described as "a happy pencil learning to write"[6], but the magic pencil name was used from the beginning[5]. Magic pencil was accompanied by what the teacher's notes called a "movement jingle"[7] describing how to form the letter. For instance, the very first movement jingle was "top to bottom, over and over" describing a letter "m"[8]. The magic pencil sequences were later credited to Peter Travers-Jones[9].

There would also be a story read from a book in every episode, told with illustrations or animated film with occasional words and phrases shown on screen for children to read out, and just as in the earlier programmes the words would 'light up' as children read them[5]. Some exciting topic would be discussed in the studio - in one episode the visiting children had to mend their broken go cart, in another there was film of a circus[10] - and finally there would be a rhyme, poem or song to sing.

The setting moved to the Words and Pictures library, where Vicky was children's librarian.[11] Just like in the bookshop of the 1970s, the set is naturally filled with books, and there are always some children on hand to play with Charlie.

At the end of the 1980s magic pencil began to draw letters with serifs, referred to as "flicks" in the movement jingles. This was done to provide "a natural introduction to the cursive style of handwriting"[12]. Previously magic pencil would draw simple block letters, although it did draw "q" with what was then called a "kick"[12]. 2351a5e196
