Lesson: Readers choose just right books
==> Bring out a box of shoes. Tell the children that you want to put on a new pair of shoes. Pull out a baby shoe.
Try it on. The kids will laugh and tell you it's too small. Pull out a very BIG shoe and try it on. Try to walk in the
big shoes. Oh my! These shoes are too big. Pull out a just right shoe and try it on. Oh this is just right for me. This
must be a perfect shoe. Offer the shoe to one of the children. See if they think it's a just right shoe for them. When
they tell you it's too big, you can have a light bulb moment. This is just like books. All books are different and all readers
are different. We are all at different levels just like we all have different size shoes. One size does not fit all. When
we read we need just right books. A shoe that is too small or too big is not good for us and a book that is too easy or too
hard is not going to help us grow as a reader. Readers need to choose just right books for them. They need a perfect fit.
==> Have children look through the book bins and choose a book. Have them look through the book and decide if they
think it is just right, too easy or too hard.
==> Have children discuss their book with a talking partner.
