Just Right Books

Yesterday we read this book and discussed "just right" books. 

Books that are too easy are like shoes that are too small. They just do not help us become better readers. 

Books that are too hard are also not right for us and are like shoes that are WAY too big. 

We are looking for books that are just right for us like shoes! We also talked about how to find "just right" books. They learned how to use the five finger rule. If they do not know five or more words on a page it is too hard for them. If they know all of the words it is to easy and if they do not know one, or two words than it is JUUUUSTTT RIGGGHTT! =)

They LOVE this lesson and we will read another book about it tomorrow to make sure they know how to pick "just right" books. 

Have a lovely evening!
