Reading Level Test Use the five finger test to check the reading
level of a book you are choosing to read by yourself: - Open the
book to the middle. Choose a page that is all words with no
pictures. - Read the page aloud. - Put one finger up for every
word you cannot say or do not know. (Names of people and places
do not count). - If you get five (5) fingers up on one page, the
book is too difficult to read - If you are reading very slowly
and decoding (trying to figure out) almost every word, the book
is too difficult for you even if you do not have five fingers
raised. There are many wonderful books in our library for your
enjoyment. Please use this test or ask the librarian for help
when choosing a book to read by yourself.
