4/5 book for 2/3 DITHR book?

Post by Gwenny » Tue Jan 22, 2013 11:28 am

Is it okay to do this? I know she is ready for the 4/5 reading, but I think the 2/3 book seems better for her?

I am not sure I understand the question - probably a case of too much coffee today. :lol: Are you wanting her to read the 2/3 book because it seems like a better fit, even though she could handle reading the 4/5 book? If so, I'd have her read the 2/3 book. We usually choose easier books rather than harder books when it comes to DITHOR, as DITHOR itself teaches challenging reading skills. HTH, but if I'm off in understanding your question, please correct me! :D

Sorry, I was not clear. I meant read the 4/5 reading level and use the 2/3 student workbook. I think I decided to do the 3rd reading level and keep it simpler for her. Thanks for your help!

Oh, that is just fine! :D You can read any book levels you want with any student book. Using the Level 2/3 Student Book with 4/5 readers is just fine, or with Level 3 readers, or with Level 2 readers - that's all just fine. :D So sorry I misunderstood! :oops:
