5 Finger Rule:
When searching for chapter books, students are asked to use the 5 Finger Rule for book selection. The student should read any page in the book - each time there is an unknown word, one finger goes up. At the end of the page, if there are 0-1 fingers up, the book may be too easy...4-5 fingers, the book may be too hard....2-3 fingers up, the book may be just right.
Selecting "good fit" books is part of a second grade ELA unit and is in accordance with NYS Learning Standards and Common Core Learning Standards.
