Beginner's Bible still does not match dictation (7.31.07)

The "extra" dictations which are provided for this level are taken from the new edition of this book. However, the LA for Grade 2 IG dictations and associated activities are from a previous edition. It is unclear exactly how many editions of this book have been released since 2005.

Beginner's Bible - new edition and dictation [8.15.06]

Beginner's Bible does NOT match dictation -

The new Beginner's Bible (2005), which we began selling at some point in the last 2 years, does not match the dictation in the 2006 LA IG. We believe the content is basically the same, but the way the books are written is not (the first was written in rhyme, the second in a more conversational style).

At this point SL does not intend to update the dictation until the 2007 edition (if this changes, I will let you know). We have only had one customer notice the dictation did not match, so this should not be an issue, but if a customer does complain we can offer them a coupon. Contact Rhonda via IM while you are on with the customer if possible, if not, reassign the ticket to Rhonda when you get off the phone.

Updated info on Beginner's Bible - The 1989 version is currently out of print. The stories in the 2005 edition are told differently and are in a different sequence than the original version. (6.27.07)

2TLN - New Edition [11.05]

We are sending NEW 2TLNs to those whose order shipped on or after 9/16/05. If we receive calls regarding this issue, the easiest way to tell if they have the incorrect one is to look at week 8 of the schedule.

If under "CREATIVE EXPRESSION" it states

"Turn to Appendix 1, Unit 6 (pp 30-33) for creative writing instructions"

IT IS THE WRONG VERSION OF 2TLN and we will need to ship them a new one.
