Choosing the Right Level of Books:

Becoming a fluent reader means reading a lot both at home and at school. Even though we encourage them and give them time to read, they may be "faking it". Often they pretend to read because the books they have chosen are too difficult. "Just right" books are books that interest them. They should not be so challenging that they are more involved in figuring out the words than reading the information and not too easy that they will not learn anything new.

You can tell if your child has chosen the right book by listening to him or her read the first couple pages. Your child should:

• be able to read the text smoothly
• have difficulty with no more than 2 or 3 words on the first 2 pages
• be able to explain in his/her own words what he/she has read
• find the text interesting
