Choosing A Just-Right Book

Steps to Choosing a Just-Right Book

1. Read spines of books and look for an interesting title.
2. Read the blurb on the back or inside of the book. If it's still interesting, continue, if not, replace on shelf.
3. Read the first full page of the book and keep count of the words you don't know.
4. Use the Five Finger Rule to decide if it's a good match for your reading level.
5. Sit down with the book in front of the shelf or at a table and read the first chapter.
6. If you like it, check it out!
