It\u2019s called the Five Finger Rule!<\/h5>\n<h5>Here\u2019s how it works: Your child opens a book to the first page. They read the page and hold up one finger for every word they don\u2019t know or can\u2019t pronounce. The number of fingers they\u2019re holding up by the end of the page tells them if the book is the right level:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>0-1 fingers: It\u2019s too easy.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>2-3 fingers: It\u2019s just right.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>4-5 fingers: It\u2019s too hard (or best read aloud with a buddy).<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Two to three fingers is the sweet spot. If they\u2019re holding up any more or less, that\u2019s a clue that they should try to find another book if they\u2019re reading independently.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The books in these lists are ordered by levels A &#8211; Z (Fountas &amp; Pinnell).
