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
