FINDING APPROPRIATE BOOKS FOR YOUR CHILD
How do you know if a book is the right reading level for your child?
Five Finger Test
1. Open a book to a middle page.
2. Have your child read one page.
3. Have your child hold up one finger for each word s/he doesn't understand.
0 fingers - book is too easy (It's okay to read some of these books, just not ONLY easy books.)
1-5 fingers - book is just right
6 fingers or more - books is probably too hard
