When reading with your child you want to find the "Goldilocks" of books. You want a book that's not too hard, not too easy, but one that's just right. Use these tips to find a book that is just right for your child.
The Rule of Five
1. Open the book to any page.
2. Read the words on that page.
3. Count the number of words you cannot read.
4. Use your fingers to decide if this is a good book to read.
one word: ok
two words: still ok
three words: you may need help
four words: tough to read
five words: too hard
