placement

[weloveone]

I am curious about placement for Drawn Into the Heart of Reading, I have twin boys that are going into the 5th grade, but they are reading at a 6th grade reading level or lexile level of 980 to 1220.
Should I purchase the 4/5 teacher/student books or should I go to the 6/7/8 teachers/student?

I would go with 4/5. First, if you have never done a formal literature study, you dunt want the analysis work to be too difficult. Second, you have for years left for DITHOR. In Preparing through MtMM, DITHOR is scheduled so you complete 4-5 genres a year. So, for 5th-6th, grade, you can do the 4/5 workbook, and then for 7th-8th grades, you would do the 6/7/8 workbook.
