I PICK good fit books

Today, in reading, we learned the acronym I PICK.

I choose a book
P urpose~Why do I want to read it?
I interest~Does it interest me?
C omprehend~Am I understanding what I am reading?
K now~I know most of the words

I PICK helps teach children about choosing good-fit books.  Research tells us that the very best way to grow as a reader is to spend lots of time reading, and the majority of that time needs to be with a good-fit book.
