Finding the right book for you!!
How to Pick a  that is for You!
Ask your friends..
Find out what your friends are reading. They may have some good ideas for you.
Ask your librarian or teacher...
Librarians and teachers know a lot about books. Ask for some suggestions.
Talk to your parents...
Talk with your parents about different subjects and your interests. Ask them to help you pick books that you may like.
Look the book over first...
Examine the book before you start to read it. Read the "blurb" (a funny word that means a short summary about the story) on the inside of the book's cover. Look at the cover, pictures, and chapters.
Try the 5-finger test...
If you think a book may be too hard for you try the 5-finger test. Read the first page. Put a finger on every word you don't know. Keep the fingers on those words. If you use all five fingers of one hand on one page, you might want to look for another book.
Find a favorite author...
If you like a book by a certain author, you'll probably like other books by that same person. Most authors have written more than one book.
Enjoy picture books...
You're never too old to enjoy picture books. They're fun at any age.
Don't worry about length...
The length of a book has nothing to do with how good it is. The most important thing is that you like the book.
Think about the book...
After you've read one book, and before you get another one, take a few minutes and think about the book you've just finished.
