Good Fit Books

What a great simile to think about good fit books!  

When children are reading independently, it is very important that they are reading books they can decode and comprehend at high levels. This will not only motivate them to read more, it will also progress their comprehension skills.

Today, I gave the kids their reading Lexile Reading scores so that they can find their good fit books using the Mann Library Catalog. Be sure to ask your child to share with you how they can find a good fit book using their iPads and the Mann Library Catalog!

However, good fit books are more than just a Lexile score.  Below are a few things to think about while selecting books to read.
Use this mnemonic device, I PICK, to help you select good fit books!

This is a great rule to help you decide if the book you selected is in fact a good fit for you! It's important to be reflective and honest when doing the five finger test.
