The class and I have talked a lot about choosing good fit books. Students think about the following things when picking a good fit:
I choose a book.
Purpose: Why do I want to read it?
Interest: Does it interest me?
Comprehend: Do I understand what I am reading?
Know: Do I know most of the words?
Having good fit books is helpful in making the most of our learning. It is also one of the hardest things I've found to have children want to do. They don't like to take the time to find what is best fit; they'd rather grab a book with an interesting cover or full of cool pictures. When you read books together at home, ask your child about how to find good fit books. Encourage them to look for books that help their learning.
I added a story to the "kids quotes" page today after our book discussion!
