You've misinterpreted what's illustrating what. You're looking at an illustration of the previous paragraph, which explains about Battledores:
...use of the hornbook declined rapidly during the late eighteenth century when cheap, mass-produced, illustrated booklets became more readily available. These booklets, usually a single sheet of card folded in three, were known as battledores.... Originally cardboard battledores were printed on just one side and were varnished on the text side to protect them. Later, however, they began to have text on both sides. The prayers included in the hornbook were often omitted and a variety of other texts, such as short poems, were included instead. Their modest price, charming illustrations and more entertaining texts all contributed to their popularity and to the decline of the hornbook....
Of particular relevance in that page, however, is the statement, "Also known as abécédaires, ABCs (and similar variations), alphabet books have introduced children to their native language since at least the 16th century." Prior to the 16th century, such grammar and spelling books did not exist
BECAUSE THERE WAS NO GRAMMAR STANDARDIZATION TO TEACH PRIOR TO THE WYCLIFFE BIBLE.“Of particular relevance in that page, however, is the statement, “Also known as abécédaires, ABCs (and similar variations), alphabet books have introduced children to their native language since at least the 16th century.” Prior to the 16th century, such grammar and spelling books did not exist BECAUSE THERE WAS NO GRAMMAR STANDARDIZATION TO TEACH PRIOR TO THE WYCLIFFE BIBLE.”
You’re being foolish and are basically trying to wrest a website, talking about 16th-18th century ABC books, to cover your embarrassing comments. The Wycliffe Bible would therefore date to the end of the 14th century. Tyndale died in 1535. What you’re trying to do is deny that anyone taught English as a written language, that way you can claim that nobody bothered to teach it, and therefore to justify the keeping of the Bible from being written in the vernacular. Since, in your silly world, only Latin was taught to be read, since it would be too crazy, in your Catholic world, to expect English to have a written language. While, prior to the reformation, literacy, as in that other link, was estimated at a mere 1 percent, and certainly there was a wide array of different spellings, John Calvin himself having many different spellings for his name even in French, with the coming of the reformation came attendant literacy, as they said, edging into 50 percent by the time of Elizabeth. It is a fact that in England during these times, there was, in fact, an English written language, that was taught, as you would hope would not be the case, as these ABCs from the 16th century show plainly show, Mr. “English was taught... as a spoken language” only.
