Bigger/DITHOR Question

Post by Kristen » Thu Jul 21, 2016 10:08 am

I'm going to start Bigger with my DS8 (9 in Aug.) this school year. Everyone was so helpful with that decision. So, I've been reading other questions about DITHOR and it got me thinking. I was planning on doing Bigger and as part of that program, just using the DITHOR Level 3 books for independent reading. So, my DS will read those on his own 15-20 min. a day but not with DITHOR yet. As we get used to the program I thought I would add DITHOR in at some point. Does this sound like a good plan? He is used to doing independent reading so I thought that would make a good transition to DITHOR.

That seems like a good strategy to start with, but DITHOR is great so add it in once you get in a good rhythm - probably 3-4 units. You will love it!
