I PICK a Just Right book for me!

Hi all-

Another busy week has come and gone! On Thursday, our reading lesson was centered around how readers select a "Just Right" book for them. I compared it to selecting the "Just Right" shoe for a specific occasion. We read "Slipper books" when we want to sit back, relax, and not challenge ourselves. We read "Work boot books" when we want a good challenge, want to learn new things and must be prepared for anything. There are many books that are "Too small" and don't fit us anymore, which means they are too easy now. There are also books that feel a little big and don't fit us just YET! 

Your kiddos designed their own "Just Right" fit sneaker to decorate our reading corner. Ask them about the 5 finger rule! If they can put up 0-1 fingers for each word they don't know, that book is too small! If they are putting up 5+ fingers, that book may be too big. 


I am eager to watch these readers grow into bigger shoes and enjoy the "Slipper books".
