How to Choose a Book that is Just Right
Children are encouraged to choose books that are just right for their reading level, not too easy, and not too difficult. In order to teach students how to select the books that are Just Right for them we practice the Five Finger Rule in 3 easy steps.
1. Choose a book that makes you want to read!
2. Use the 5 Finger Rule: Read one page. Hold up
a finger for eachword you can’t figure out.
3. 5 or more fingers up means you still need to find
a Just Right book, or 1,2,3, or 4 fingers up is JustRight!
