Considerations & Reminders

• Students should be familiar with the Five Finger Rule or other strategy to determine Just Right ÍûÔÂÖ±²¥ books. If they are able to choose books that are at their appropriate ÍûÔÂÖ±²¥ level, then they can build on that foundation and monitor their understanding as they read.
• Be aware of students who are only able to explain the ÍûÔÂÖ±²¥ passage based on the pictures in the book and not the content of the text. Some students may have learned the coping skill of solely relying on the illustrations in order to gain knowledge from a grade-level text.
• Students should also be able to retell the story in their own words and not simply restate passages from the text.
