“My child is between levels. What should I order?”

It is a little tricky to determine placement when your child is between levels. So then the question is whether to start with something that’s a little bit hard and ease into it, or to start with something that’s too easy and race through it. We have had families be very successful with either approach. It really is a matter of personal preference as to which you think would work best for your child.
