Am I understanding DITHOR correctly?

Post by Tree House Academy » Sat Apr 18, 2009 7:54 pm

Okay...tell me if this is correct as far as DITHOR goes.

Say my child is in 2nd grade and starts DITHOR in the 2/3 level. We choose our books, do the program, and then finish up.

Here is where I wonder....I *think* DITHOR is made to be repeated with the same level 2/3 but picking different books for 3rd grade. Is this correct???

Hi!

Yes, that is one way to do the program. I believe Carrie has two book sets to choose from in the Store as well, one for level 2 and one for level 3. (Of course, you can choose any books you wish!)

Another way to do it would be to use DITHOR 3x per week, thereby covering all nine genres over the course of two years. That is what we are doing, partly because that is how it's scheduled for Preparing and up, an partly because it gives us more time to savor the books.

HTH a little!
