Choosing a "Just Right" Book
Flip to a page in the middle of the book. For each word you don't know, put up one finger.
If at the end of the page you have:
5 or more fingers up - a "save for later" book
4 fingers up - very challenging
2-3 fingersup - a "just right" book
0-1 finger - too easy; a "vacation" book
