Susie in MS Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I noticed that this 500 page book comes in full size 8.5x11 OR 6x9. I have been considering this for next year....not sure yet.....but was thinking the smaller one would not be so heavy. My only concern is does it lay open fairly well or would my dd and I be wrestling with it all of the time? If you have the smaller one what is your experience? ETA: Just discovered the smaller size is actually about 200 pages longer than the larger size.

MotherGoose Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I don't have to, but I would think the smaller size must have either very thin paper or not lay open well, which would really irritate me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edeemarie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 We have ELTL level 4 in the larger size. I also have several levels of RLTL that are in the smaller size, but those are only around 350 pages. They are very manageable to use, but if the smaller version is 700 pages, I'm not sure how manageable that would be. I think it may also depend on whether or not you get the optional workbook. If you don't get that and your daughter needs to use the ELTL book for copywork instead of using the workbook, you may want to go with the larger size so it can lay flat. All of the other levels of ELTL we have are downloads and we read them on the iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in MS Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thank you, Ladies! I think if I go with this I may just cut the binding off no matter which size I get. Then proclick portions as needed, so it won't be so heavy and lay flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three4me Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 We have levels 1 and 2 in the same book of the smaller size. It's just over 700 pages and nearly unmanageable and doesn't lay open on its own. I'd personally go with the larger book with fewer pages.

Susie in MS Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Thank you, All. Three4me, that is what I was thinking. Thanks for confirming it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) I had taken pictures of ELTL level 2 (it has about 430 pages) and RLTL level 3 (about 450 pages). You can find them in this thread: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/572004-rltl-picture-request/?p=6645515 Edited February 13, 2016 by silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
