  4. How Do You Select A Book That Is The Perfect Fit For You? A “Just Right” book should be: • Interesting to you • The title is appealing • You know and like the author • Comfortable to read • The print is the right size • You like the illustrations • Some pages are smooth to read, others are choppy • You can read it • You can understand the plot and predict • You can tell others what the book is about • There are only a few words per page that you don’t know

  5. Helpful Tips To Help You Pick A “Just Right” Book • The Goldilocks Method • What did Goldilocks want in the story of “The Three Bears?” Ahhh…this bed is “just right!”

  6. Helpful Tips To Help You Pick A “Just Right” Book • The Five Finger Rule • Open to a page of the book • Begin Reading • Each time you come to a word you don’t know, hold up one finger • After you finish reading the page check to see how many fingers you are holding up: • 0-1: Too Easy • 2-3: Just Right • 4-5: Too Hard

  7. Helpful Tips To Help You Pick A “Just Right” Book • Use Your Schema • What is schema? • What you know, if you’ve heard about it, experienced it, or seen it then it’s in your schema. (Example: If you know a lot about weather, then a book on weather might be a “just right” book for you.)

  8. A “Just Right” Book • You Can… • read most of the words • understand what you’re reading • enjoy the book • have some schema for the subject • read the book with smooth fluency but there are some choppy places • read at a “just right” rate—not too slow, not too fast • figure out the tricky words and still get the meaning of the story
