Dr. Behrens
shared a strategy in class that will help students choose an appropriate book
for them to read. The students open the book to any page and start reading. If
the students cannot read 3 or more words, the book is too advanced for them and
they should make another choice. If they only miss one or two words, the book
is okay.
This is a
great strategy to teach students because it will allow them to independently
choose a book to read. They can use this strategy anywhere, at home, at the
store, and at school.
I noticed
that during my first placement (first grade), my corresponding teacher had a
five finger test poster in the classroom library. Once a week, students were
able to go to the classroom library and exchange their books for new ones. I
saw many students using the five finger test.
