Happy Back-to-School reading!
How can we help our children pick the right book for them? 
Our library has many books for children 0 to 18 including board books for babies, picture books for toddlers, easy readers for beginning readers, chapter books for independent readers, and non-fiction for curious minds.
How do we help our children select books based on their interests, reading levels, and exploration? Without limiting the massive selection of books on the shelves in our library, here are some tips:
PICK:
P: Purpose
– Are they reading for pleasure?
-Are they trying to learn something?
-Is the book going to be read silently or out loud?
-Who is the audience?
I: Interest
-Looking at the front of the cover
-Flipping through the pages
-Reading the back cover
-Reading the chapter titles
C: Comprehend
-Did I understand what I just read?
-Do I remember what I read?
-Was I able to read most of the words?
K: Know the words
Words on the page that you recognize, decode (sound out), or read and understand.
