Good Fit Books:
Choosing "Good Fit" books is one of the most important first steps in aiding your student toward reading success! A good fit book is like a good fitting pair of shoes--not to big (too challenging), but not too small (too easy) either.
Good Fit books follow the "I Pick" rule:
1) I- I choose the book.
2) P-The book fits my purpose. (To learn something in particular? Just for fun?)
3) I-The book fits my interest. (Be sure to explore both fiction and non fiction genres.)
4) C- The book fits my comprehension level. (I understand it.)
5) K-I know most of the words on a given page.

Read to Self Videos
Real vs. Fake Reading
To practice being able to Read To Self we read the book Petunia, about a silly goose who finds a book but doesn't know how to correctly use it. She gives her friends the wrong ideas on how to do things. She pretends to read until her friends really need her and then she realizes how important books can be and what they can teach us. We decided to make our own video one with fake reading and all the wrong things to do. The other real reading and how we hope to look all the time. We had a blast making it and hope you can watch and enjoy them too! Click the blue links to watch them.
