Easy • you can read the words fluently (smoothly and with expression) • there often are not a lot of words on a page • there are not a lot of pages in the book • sometimes the book has a larger font • you know a lot about the subject • you totally understand the story • your reading rate may be quicker • your thinking comes easy as you read the words

  6. Challenging • many of the words are too hard to read (failed 5 finger test) • you don't know what the tricky words mean • your reading becomes choppy • you don't have any prior knowledge of subject • there are often a lot of words on the page • often the font is small • you lose focus as you are reading • you are not enjoying the book because you have to do too much word work • your thinking is confused • your reading rate slows way down

  7. Just Right • you can read most of the words • you can understand what you are reading • you enjoy the book • you have some knowledge about the subject • you can read the book with smooth fluency but there are some choppy places • your reading rate is just right- not too slow and not too fast • you can figure out the tricky words and still get the meaning of the story
