5. Explain to the students how to pick a book. First they open the book to any page and put one finger up for each word you don’t know. If it 0-1 the book is too easy, if its 1-2 it’s a perfect choice, if it’s 3-4 give it a try, and if it’s more than 5 it may be too hard.
6. Model this portion by picking a book from your classroom library and asking students what words they can read on the page you choose. After determining how many words the class can read, have the kids use the chart to determine if the book is too hard, too easy, or just right according to the number of words they could read.

8. Have students get up from the carpet and either go to the classroom library or the school library and practice picking books using the five finger
rule.
9. Allow the children to take home their five finger rule worksheet to share with their parents so they can help them pick out, just the right book for them.
Assessment:
Teacher will observe the students as they are choosing their books to make sure the students are using the five finger method. Teacher will periodically ask students to read several words from their books to make sure they are choosing the right book for their reading ability or interest. Teacher will observe students during read to self to look for cues that student is engaged in the reading material they have chosen.
Reflections:
