No. There is more to making things simple and easy to understand than making a point. Introducing profound ideas into the equation is the set up for making one thirst for the bounty that learning how to read entitles them to reap. I.e., That door into the imagination of others. So, one can reap the benefits of someone else's mind other than one's own mind. So, one does not become sheltered and stupid and racist and bigoted and scared of anyone that is different than he is.
I remember "Fun With Dick And Jane". Even at age 6 I thought it was incredibly dum. 'Course I was already reading at third grade level. My mother taught me to read and at age 5 I was doing experiments with my brother's chemistry set. The only problem I had was I didn't know how to pronounce phenolphthalein.
My mother was a teacher, so I was also reading before I started school at age 4. The "Endeavour Reading System", on par with Dick and Jane, was boring - I was reading Enid Blyton, Rev Awdry and had started on WE Johns.
