I can choose a "just-right" book.
We used the anchor chart below to help us choose appropriate level books. We connceted it to Cinderella and the glass slipper and how it had to fit just right. We compared it to biking up and down hills.
Pleae help your child pick appropriate leveled books. I always tell students when they want to choose books that are too high that it isn't like they will never be able to read that book. They just have to wait a little bit and practice reading at their level. Ofteim times, it seems students can read the words in more difficult books, but their deep understanding and comprehension are not quite there.
