Just right???

This week second graders learned more about choosing a "just right" book.  A "just right" book varies by reader, but some suggestions:

• look for books with pictures!  Pictures help tell the story when you're hung up on some of the words
• avoid books with very tiny print
• read some of the book- you should understand most of the words and most of the story (but it's okay to still have some questions)
• look for books with topics that interest you

We followed our lesson by listening to the book How to read a story by Kate Messner

Students then got to practice choosing "just right" books by organizing a pile of books into "just right" and not "just right"
