(One that’s not too easy and not too hard, but just right.)

If you have 3 or more fingers up at the end of the page, it’s probably too hard for you.

After you find 3 or 4 “just right” books, we check them out to your teacher and you can take your books to class.
When you’ve read them a few times, return them to the library and choose more “just right” books.
