Choosing the Right Book
   
The book shouldn't be too hard (Your child has to use the bookmark or other strategies too often. He/She can't remember what they are reading or what is happening in the story.)
   
  The book shouldn't be too easy. (Your child reads through too quickly and doesn't use any reading strategies.)
Remember the five finger rule!  

If you are having trouble deciding if a book is too hard have your child turn to any page in the book. If they have trouble with more than 5 words, the book may be too hard.
