I PICK Good-Fit Books!
- I choose a book
- P urpose - Why do I want to read it?
- I nterest - Does it interest me?
- C omprehend - Am I understanding what I am reading?
- K now - I know most of the words
We want to pick "Just Right Books" to read! (Think: Goldilocks and the Three Bears!)
- Too Easy Books:
- Have you read it lots of times before?
- Do you understand the story (text) very well?
- Do you know (can you understand) almost every word?
- Can you read it smoothly?
- *Just Right Books:*
- Is this book new to you?
- Do you understand some of the book?
- Are there just a couple of words per page you don't know?
- When you read are some places smooth and some choppy?
- Can someone help you with this book? Who?
- Too Hard Books:
- Are there more than a couple of words on a page you don't know?
- Are you confused about what is happening in most of the book?
- When you read, does it sound pretty choppy?
- Is everyone else busy and unable to help you?
Choosing a Good-Fit Book is like picking out good-fit shoes!
