How to find the ''just the right book''?

In September, students were introduced how to choose the “just the right book” for individual reading in class.
You may find below these easy steps to review with your child when needed:

1. What do I want to read? (think about topic, genre)
2. Does this book interest me? (read title, look at pictures)
3. Can I read the first page? Do I understand the words on first page?    


         *Use the 5 fingers rule when reading the first page:

* If I find 1-2 words that I cannot read or don`t understand – the book is too easy.

* If I find 3-4 words that I cannot read or don`t understand – the book is just right for me.

* If find 5+ words that I cannot read or don`t understand – the book is too difficult.

Hope that helps,
