DITHOR

Post by mothermayi » Sun Aug 18, 2013 12:53 am

We are using DITHOR 4/5 and 6/7/8. How long does each lesson take? I'm thinking I will split each student book into 2 years versus 1 year because we will already have lots of reading from other sources. How did you split the assignments if you used it for multiple years?

TIA!

That is how the book is actually used in the higher guides anyway. You just pick half of the genres to do one year and half the next. I think my manuals schedule it three days a week, but I would have to check (after church).

Thanks for checking! I wasn't sure because we aren't using the upper level HOD guides. Three days per week would be very feasible. I cringed at the thought of doing it 5 days per week, every week, for the entire school year :shock:
