Five (5) Finger Rules

The 5-Finger Rule for choosing a “Just right” book

Open a book to the middle and begin reading. For each word you don’t know, put up one finger. If at the end of the page you have:

5 or more fingers up - too hard and challenging, save for later book

4 fingers up - very challenging

2-3 fingers up - just right

0-1 fingers up - too easy

Enjoy Reading!
