| 1. Open the book to the middle. Select a full page of text |
| 2. Read the page ( aloud if possible) |
| 3. Put one finger up for every word you cannot pronounce or do not know. |
| 4. If you get five ( 5 ) fingers up on one page, the book is too difficult to read independently. |
| 5. If you do not get any fingers up, but are reading very slowly and decoding almost every word, you will not enjoy the book. |
