What were the two tools teacher used to teach reading and writing?

That depends entirely on the time period and the teacher's resources! There's no single answer. However, two *common* tools used across many time periods and contexts could be:

1. A textbook/reader: Providing structured lessons, stories, and exercises for practicing reading and writing skills.

2. A chalkboard/whiteboard (or similar writing surface): Used for modeling letters, words, sentences, and for interactive exercises, writing practice, and spelling lessons.

It's important to note that other tools have also been widely used such as flashcards, primers, workbooks, pens/pencils, slates, and more recently, computers and interactive whiteboards.
