Selecting Books

How to choose appropriate books?

When choosing books at home please use the Five Finger Rule as a guide when choosing "just right" books.

The Five Finger Rule

1. Choose a book that looks interesting to you.
2. Read the first page.
3. Every time you do not know a word, place a finger down.
4. After the page is completed, if you have:

• 0-1 fingers down - too easy  
• 2-3 fingers down - just right
• 4-5 fingers down - too hard
