Sometimes interest in the book or topic is a great motivator. If your child is interested in a book, don’t get stuck in thinking they shouldn’t read it because of difficulty. It is OK to read books that are hard and that are easy. Remember, if your child really wants to read a book but it’s too challenging, you can save it for a later time when they’ve grown as a reader or use it ow as a read aloud choice.ģ. (It’s not a perfect way to tell if the book is a great choice, but it’s a helpful starting point.) If they have between 1 to 5 fingers, it’s probably a just-right book for them. Ask the child to read a page out loud and for each word they don’t know, hold up a finger.
Have your 2nd grade child use the five-finger test to see if the book is too easy, just right, or too hard. Of course, I still need to read the words to investigate further if it’s a good book for 2nd graders.Ģ. I can usually tell from a glance by the amount of words on the page and their size whether or not it’s going to be around a 2nd grade reading level. Glance over the density and size of the text and see if there are illustrations. How do you know if a book is at the right reading level for your 7-year-old child (in 2nd grade)?ġ.
