*********************************
- The book should be within the child’s reading level.
- The book should be interesting to the child.
- While reading the book, the students should be constantly asking themselves questions to make sure they understand what is being read.
- If a student does not understand, go back and reread.
- Don’t rush through the book.
- After a child is finished with the book, he/she should be able to answer the following questions without looking at the book:
- What is the title of the book?
- Who were the main characters?
- What was the setting? (When? Where?)
- What was the problem in the book?
- How did the character solve the problem?
- What happened at the beginning of the book?
- What happened in the middle of the book?
- What happened at the end of the book?
- If you can’t answer these questions without looking at the book, consider rereading the book, or rereading the first couple of pages in each chapter.
- If the child is reading a picture book, take a picture walk through the book. On each page, the student should be able to retell the story in their own words while looking at the pictures.
- While taking the test, students should double check the answer they have selected is the correct answer.
