Goldilock's Law
Use this guide to help your child choose a book that is "just right".
Too Easy Books
• I have read the book many times
before.
• I understand and can retell the story without much effort.
• I know and understand almost every word.
• I can read the book smoothly and fluently without much practice.
Too Hard Books
• There are five or more words on a page that I do not recognize.
• I am confused about what is happening in the story.
• When I read the words I sound choppy.
• I need help when reading this book.
Just Right Books
• The book is new to me and the topic is interesting to me.
• I understand what is happening in most of the story.
• I can retell what I have read.
• I recognize most of the words on the page, but there are some words
to work on.
• I can read the book by myself but may need help if I hit a tough spot.
Read to Achieve
More Reading Strategies.....
- Read to them ( This is the most important strategy)
- Make Predictions ( Have your child guess about upcoming events in a story)
- Track Print ( Have your child use their finger or bookmark to point to the words as they read.)
- Retell (Pretend you weren't listening, have your child Retell the story to you.)
