 |
The Five Finger Test
|
| |
Open the book to the middle. Choose a full page of words. Read the page out loud. Hold up a finger each time you come to a word you don’t know or understand.
|
| 1 |
Hold up one finger (your thumb):
Thumbs up! You knew all but one word! This book will be pretty easy for you.
|
| 2 |
Hold up two fingers (thumb and first finger to make an “L”): “L” stands for learning. You might need some help, but it will be a good learning book for you.
|
| 3 |
Hold up three fingers (3 middle fingers to make a “W”): “W” is for Warning. You can read this book, but it is a warning that it might be frustrating and you may not enjoy it.
|
4
or
5 |
Hold up four, five, or more fingers. This is a STOP signal. This would be a good book to stop reading by yourself and start reading with a buddy. Find someone who can read this book with you and then look for another book you will enjoy by yourself.
