Choosing a Book

See Lesson Ideas for this topic

Choosing a book is an important skill that children need to become good readers. Children who find a book that’s just right for them are able to engage with the text without becoming mired by difficult words or concepts. This allows them to be free to ask questions, make predictions and inferences, and make connections to their own experiences. Remind your child that finding a book that is just right can be difficult and they should not feel discouraged if they think a book is too hard. Not every book is appropriate for everyone.
