How to Pick a Book

Last week, I did a lesson with the kids on how to pick a book. I used the example of picking shoes. You have different shoes for different things. We read books for different reasons. Also, we want our shoes to fit right, just like we want a good fit for our book. We don't want a book that is too easy or too hard, just like we don't want our shoes to be too big or too small. Below is our "I PICK" guidelines for finding a book.


I choose a book

Purpose-Why do I want to read it?
Interest-Does it interest me?
Comprehend-Am I understanding what I am reading?
Know-I know most of the words.
