Vol. 2 Students from ages 3 to 6 in the same class. Which WELCOME text?

I have students ranging from ages 3 to 6 in the same class. Which WELCOME to Learning World textbook should I use?

For this class WELCOME to Learning World YELLOW is probably best. YELLOW is recommended for older preschool classes with no, or very limited, English background. If the class were divided into two groups, WELCOME to Learning World PINK would be recommended for the 3-4 year olds, and YELLOW for the 5-6 year olds.

(With small children, having students with age ranges of over 3 years apart is not recommended. You encounter problems with developmental milestones and issues with motor skills. For example, how to hold a pencil and apply appropriate pressure. If the class is too large, you will also have a hard time making progress and advancing. If you can split the class into two, that would really be best.)
