  THE FIVE FINGER TEST - Is this book too hard for me? | 1) | Open the book to the middle and choose any page to read. | | 2) | Read the page. (aloud if possible) | | 3) | Put out 1 finger for every word you do not know or cannot pronounce. | | 4) | If you have 5 fingers out, the book is too difficult to read without help. | | 5) | If you do not get any fingers up, but are reading very slowly and decoding almost every word, you will not enjoy the book. |
Here's the finger guide:
1 Finger: This book is o.k. for you.
2 Fingers: Still good.
3 Fingers: Could be a bit hard for you to understand.
4 Fingers: Will be too difficult to read and understand.
5 Fingers: Choose another book.
