The Goldilocks Test
Ask yourself these questions. If your answer is YES, the book is
probably:

TOO EASY
Have you read it lots of times before?
Do you understand the story very well?
Do you know almost every word?
Can you read it smoothly?
JUST RIGHT
  • Is the book new to you?
  • Do you understand a lot of the book?
  • Are there just a few words a page you don't know?
  • When you read, are some places smooth and some choppy?
TOO HARD
  • Are there more than five words on a page you don't know?
  • Are you confused about what is happening in most of this book?
  • When you read, does it sound pretty choppy?
  • Is everyone else busy and unable to help you?
