five finger rule

Hello Friends!
Just before the Thanksgiving break, I had parent-teacher conferences. The question I was asked over and over again was, “When we go to the library, how do I know what book my daughter/son should pick out?” Many of them mentioned that their children are eager to read chapter books, but that they are worried they aren’t comprehending the text.
I suggested that they tell their children to use the five finger rule.

I’m sure many of you’ve heard of this before. I made these little posters for my students to take home and hang on their refrigerators. You can grab them below in black and white and color. Enjoy!

    I love this and it is just what I have been thinking I need to do with my kids but should there be a 3 on the chart? Just wondering! I appreciate the freebie!

    Thanks for the freebie! We are doing a parent literacy event and are sharing the "three finger" rule, which is basically the fiver finger rule without fingers 1 & 2 :)

    Maybe I can convince everyone to change it just to have a cute graphic!
