I apologise if all the emails are showing up on my reply-I couldn't seem to get it to delete. My question is whether RW or novel studies are considered current best practice. I work in a private school where I can teach my 5th/6th grade multi-age class of 9 students however I choose and I am trying to decide the better way. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thank you so much!
