Help your child choose good-fit books.
I Pick Good-Fit Books
I select a book and look it over, inside and out.
- Purpose: Why might I want to read it?
- Interest: Does it interest me?
- Comprehend: Do I understand what I am reading?
- Know: Do I know nearly all the words?
Children need 99% accuracy for independent reading. This leads to greater fluency and comprehension.
