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
