schedule for emerging readers

[zuzuspetals]

I see there is a schedule for the emerging reader books in Beyond and the appendix of Bigger. What does this exactly entail? Is it basically an easier version of DITHOR or does it just schedule out the books and include comprehension questions re: the books?

Thanks!

Schedule of books with questions to ask (comprehension, analysis, knowledge, narration, etc.). Huge help to have them right there at your finger tips. The schedule is in the appendix in Beyond and Bigger.

Ditto to what Jen said! The Emerging Reader's Set's questions are based on Bloom's Taxonomy, which provides an excellent balance of questions. DITHOR questions are also based on Bloom's Taxonomy, so the Emerging Reader's schedule gives a nice foundation for DITHOR to build upon. My dc both had a blast doing the Emerging Reader's set!

Is there an emergent reader schedule in the back of LHTH or LHFHG? I decided to go with LHTH for my oldest with additional phonics/math work. It sounds like this could be helpful to her, but didn't know if it's available in the lower level guides. I haven't gotten my book yet, or I wouldn't be asking. Are there any other resources that would essentially meet the same purpose?

The Emerging Reader's Schedule is in both the Beyond Little Hearts and the Bigger Hearts guides, but it is not in the LHTH and LHFHG guides. My ds was an early reader, and he finished phonics and was reading books like Frog and Toad, Amelia Bedelia, etc. well on his own when we were halfway through LHFHG. I got the Beyond guide and the Emerging Reader's set at that point, and it worked great!

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll keep it in mind that I'll have to get Beyond or Bigger to get that schedule.

I'll just chime in to mention that the Emerging Reader's Schedule is intended for use when the child has completed phonics (or is on the very tail-end of phonics instruction). It is meant to be a transition between phonics and independently reading beginning chapter books.
