Different weightlifters use different amounts of weights as they train.
What would happen to a weightlifter who only trained with small, light weights? They would never get any stronger!
What would happen to a weightlifter who only used weights that were too heavy to lift? They would not get stronger, only frustrated!
It’s important for a weightlifter to train with weights that are right for him.
Trying to read books that are too hard will not improve your reading.
Use the five finger rule! • Open the book to a full page. • Begin reading. • Put up a finger for every word you don’t know. • If you have all 5 fingers up before you finish the page, it’s too hard.
Reading books in your ZPD will help strengthen your reading!
You can always read books that are a little above or below your ZPD. You’re not locked into those levels.
Think of your ZPD as a ladder. You are “working out” to climb as high up as you can.
