HOW TO PICK A JUST RIGHT BOOK
1. Ask yourself some questions.
What is the purpose of my reading?
- What topic interests me?
- Is there a series I’d like to read?
- What authors do I like?
2. Preview the Book
- Read the cover.
- Read the blurb.
- Read the table of contents.
- Look at the illustrations
3. Use the “Five finger rule.”
Choose a page in the book to read.
- Put a finger up for each word you do not know.
· 0-1 finger – Too Easy
· 2-3 fingers – JUST RIGHT!
· 4-5 fingers – Too Hard
