I-PICK | Selecting "Good Fit" Books

Part of our Daily 5 (reading workshop) program is learning how to select "good fit" books. I-PICK is the acronym we use to help us remember how to choose a book that is just right for us.

I choose a book
Purpose - Why am I reading the book?
Interest - Does it interest me?
Comprehend - Do I understand what I'm reading?
Know - Do I know most of the words?

This is a video that we recorded of a song to help us remember how to choose "good fit" books (inspired by Mrs. Saccoccio's blog). Sorry for the focusing problems. At any rate, the video is great entertainment!



And finally, a fun video still of the class!
