Tips for selecting a book that is at the right level for you!

Learning happens when a book is challenging and enjoyable.  When choosing a book go to a full page and begin reading.  As you read the page keep track of how many words you had difficulty with.

If you had difficulty with:

one word - the book will be fairly easy to read

two to four words - the book will be challenging ( THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!) This book will help you to improve your reading skills.

five and over - the book will be too frustrating and lead to lack of comprehension
