Using the code key at the right, one can see that A coded is 1, B is 2, etc. Therefore, the word "HELLO" when written using this code key would be "8 5 12 12 15" Try writing a message to your children and show them how the code key was used. See if he or she can decode the message using the above code key and then write you a message back.

DECODERSFrom the later 1930s, through the 1940s, and into the 1950s and beyond, several radio and television programs that had adventure themes offered decoders of many different varieties. These programs included (to name just a couple) Captain Midnight and the Secret Squadron and Radio Orphan Annie's Secret Society. There were many rumors of secret decoder rings from several sources, but the simple fact remains that no decoder rings were ever offered by these radio or television programs. The reason: they were too small to display all of the needed information to encode / decode the alphabet. Instead of decoder rings, programs like those mentioned above offered decoder circles, decoder sliders, decoder badges and pins. These could all be made in larger versions than a ring, and were more legible for children to use. The following is a simple example of the code key used by an encoder / decoder.
A = 1 B = 2 C = 3 D = 4 E = 5 F = 6 G = 7 H = 8 I = 9 J = 10 K = 11 L = 12 M = 13 N = 14 O = 15 P = 16 Q = 17 R = 18 S = 19 T = 20 U = 21 V = 22 W = 23 X = 24 Y = 25 Z = 26
