How do I know if a Book is too Difficult for My Child
When children choose a book to read for fun, it should be a book they can read easily. Here is a quick way for your child to see if the book is too hard.
-
Find a page that has more space with words on it than space with pictures.
-
Hold up five (5) fingers on one hand.
-
Read the page silently.
-
Each time a word is found that you don't know put down one (1) finger.
-
If all five fingers are used before you get to the end of the page put the book back. It is too difficult.
