Five Finger Test: Is the Book At My Reading Level?
1. Open the book to the middle.
2. Read the page aloud if possible.
3. Put one finger up for every word you cannot
pronounce or do not know the meaning of.
4. If you get 5 fingers up on one page, the book is too
difficult to read independently. Four (4) fingers may
indicate the same.
5. If you do not have any fingers up by the end, but are reading
very slowly and decoding almost every word, you will not enjoy
the book.
6. If you complete the page with 3 fingers up, you'll have a
decision to make. If the book's summary sounds interesting,
then try the book.
7. Zero (0), 1 or 2 fingers up, and the book is probably a good
choice.
