Description

I’m so excited to share with you that my first ebook is HERE! (Please note this is a PDF file.) It’s called How to Choose “Just Right” Books: Helping Kids Grow as Readers (Purchase link is at the end of this blog post).

Throughout my journey of blogging, I have been asked a lot of questions about reading. “How do I know if a book is just right for my reader?” ranks within my top 10 for sure. The answer to this question is a lot more complicated than the common five finger rule, especially for reluctant or struggling readers!

So I’ve taken the information I learned while getting my M.Ed. in Elementary Reading, my experience as a classroom teacher and private reading tutor of struggling readers, and the experience I’ve had over the last four years with my own young readers at home and bundled it all up in one place! Whew!

In How to Choose “Just Right” Books, you will find:

  • the theory behind and importance of “just right” books, explained without all the teacher words
  • factors that determine “just right” texts
  • practical tips for determining the grade level of a book
  • creative ideas and texts for older struggling readers
  • how to make observations as a child reads aloud
  • helpful hints for asking comprehension questions
  • how to put it all together to discover that “just right” book level
