Too Hard: Were you confused by what you read? Were there many hard words in the passage, like 4 or 5 per page? Was your reading choppy? (Test this by reading a page or paragraph out loud.) Did you enjoy reading this passage?

Just Right : Did you understand most of what you read? Were there a few new words in the passage? Did you have to think as you read? Could you learn from the book? Did you enjoy reading the passage?

The “Just-Right” book is one that you enjoy reading and can read with success. It is not too hard or too easy to read and will help you grow as a reader. Go now and find the “Just-Right” book…
