Help students prepare for reader’s workshop by picking the perfect books to read independently. A little bit of a challenge can help young readers expand their vocabulary, but too much of a challenge can make reading a chore. In this activity, students will choose three books that look appealing and read one page. If there are five or less words that are tricky to read, they've found a book that is just right for their reading level!
