The Five Finger Test

Test to check the reading level of a book:

 

1. Open the book to the middle. Select a full page of text.

2. Read the page (aloud if possible).

3. Put one finger up for every word you cannot pronounce or do not know.

4. If you get five (5) fingers up on one page, the book is too difficult to read independently.

5. If you have no fingers up and are reading slowly while decoding words, you will not enjoy the book.
