SELECTING A ‘JUST RIGHT BOOK’

As the library welcomes new generations of young readers, it is important to ensure students are borrowing ‘just right books’ during this time. The ideal book should be at a level that a student can decode and comprehend, develop their vocabulary, but most of all be interesting and fun.  Here are a few tips to know and help remind them when they’re picking their next book;

1. Look at the cover and the title – is it a new book to me?
2. Read the blurb – is it interesting?
3. Scan the amount of text / check the number of pages (helps identify length and difficulty level)
4. Pick a random page and read it out loud.
5. Identify any unknown words from that page - if it's more than 4 it's too hard and if it’s under 2 it’s too easy. 
6. Retell the story or facts to check comprehension.
