Since the LLI Green System covers levels A-J, can I just use it for both my Kindergarten and first grade children instead of purchasing the Orange System just for Kindergarten?
We do not recommend that. The LLI Orange System is specifically designed to help kindergarten children who are having difficulty in the beginning phases of learning to read and to prevent further difficulties by establishing a strong foundation in early literacy. The Orange System provides three levels of instruction, with multiple weeks of lessons at each level A-C. It includes 70 carefully leveled books and 70 lessons specifically designed to match the trajectory needed by the kindergarten child. These original, high-quality leveled books feature topics, illustrations, and storylines that provide strong support in the beginning phases of learning to read. After the first 10 days of “Getting Started” lessons, which include shared reading at levels A through C, children will read books and have systematic phonics lessons over a period of 20 days for Level A, 20 days for Level B, and 20 days for Level C.
