Readers for Bigger

Post by laurelmarie » Fri Apr 06, 2012 6:04 am

There are so many great choices from the classic set, the boys and the girls set that to choose just one will be hard. Can I pick and choose from each set and make my own "set" or do I need to go with a premade set?

Another question, the Classic/boy/ girl sets from the Deluxe package, are these the read alouds? Or for the child to read? Where do the leveled readers come into play?
Thanks,
Laurel

The classics and boy/girl sets that you mentioned are for storytime (you read). Yes, you can mix them or use your own. You just need a book for each genre covered.

As far as the leveled readers for the student, you use the ER readers or DITHOR 2/3 if that is where your child places. We are still in the ER's, so I don't have experience with DITHOR(Drawn Into the Heart of Reading) yet. HTH
