DITHOR reading level

Post by MomtoJGJE » Wed Jan 09, 2013 2:22 pm

I know I've asked this before, but my searching skills stink :)

Do you want the DITHOR books to be fairly easy for the kids? Like they don't have to really concentrate on the actual READING as much as what is being said?

If so, is it possible to do level 3 books with the work from level 4? Jayden is ready to up the skill and thinking with the work, but for making it easier for her to read I'd have to do the level 3 books. She is not a strong reader as far as comprehension goes.

Well, let me rephrase that. I'd have less struggle and she'd enjoy DITHOR more if the books were easier. She CAN read and comprehend the higher books (reads her history just fine) but she hates reading.

Yes, I think that's fine! In fact, that's what I'm trying right now. My dd hates Dithor; loves reading and is able to read a higher reading level, but in the interest of making DITHOR a little easier for her to swallow, I've decided to make the reading very short and not challening for a while so that she has time and mental energy for digging into those harder literary concepts in DITHOR.
