The Joy of a Good Book in IEP
In IEP, we visit the library every week and undertake many different literacy-based activities. Today, we focused on the five finger rule for picking a book.
- Choose a book that you think you will enjoy.
- Read the second page.
- Hold up a finger for each word you are not sure of, or do not know.
- If there are five or more words you did not know, you should choose an easier book!
Students moved around the library, observing, investigating and identifying what books might be a good fit for them and their current reading level.
This is a valuable skill for students to learn as reading a book that is too difficult can negatively impact on their confidence and take away from the enjoyment that is reading a really good book!
