The students are practicing picking good fit books in our classroom this year. They are using the I PICK strategy. I PICK stands for:
I choose the book
Purpose: Why am I reading this book?
Interest: Does it grab my attention?
Comprehend: Do I understand what I am reading?
Know: Do I know most of the words?
As students pick books they are to be thinking about the above items. If they are not able to comprehend what they are reading or don't know most of the words then it is not a good fit book.
