Ciphers For the Little Folks A Method of Teaching the Greatest Work of Sir Francis Bacon

"Ciphers For the Little Folks" by Dorothy Crain is a guide from the early 1900s that uses codes to help kids learn. It teaches kids about a special code made by Sir Francis Bacon, using fun activities to get them excited about reading, writing, and math while honing their attention to detail. The book has lessons that show kids how to use the code, with activities like making coded messages with shapes and colors, or using designs with hidden words. It also tells the story of how the alphabet was created, making the code lessons part of a bigger story about how language developed, all designed to make learning a blast for kids, whether at home or in the classroom.
