Now that we’re together, what do we read?
Just Right Books for Independent Reading
Choose a page from the middle of the book
Read the page and hold up a finger each time you time you miss a word
1-2 words means the book is easy
3-4 words means the book is just right
5 (or more) words means the book is too challenging at this time
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.Maya Angelou

What if the book is too challenging?

Added Tips for Success Let all members have a chance to choose the books
Start small- short sessions, quick books and then build on that
Pair activities with the book- Play the main character’s favorite game, cook a meal mentioned in the book, go to a (similar) place mentioned in the book, make a snack from some food talked about in the book, draw characters, settings or events from the book
Keep at it- Rome wasn’t built in a day- if it doesn’t seem to be working at first, keep trying- it will catch on if you model it and show enthusiasm for it- kids love to be like you!
