GREEN - KEEP GOING...It's TOO EASY!
YELLOW - SLOW DOWN...It's TOO HARD!
RED - WHOA! STOP!...It's "Just Right"!
Is the book too easy? Can you read it aloud smoothly? Have you read the book before?
Is the book too hard? When you read it aloud, does it sound choppy?
Is the book just right? When you read it aloud, are some places smooth & some choppy? Is the book new to you?
FIVE FINGER RULE
Five-finger technique: Open to any page in the book. For each word you come across that you don’t know, hold up a finger.
