  • Reading tip: “To find your child’s ‘just right’ reading level, use the five finger rule. Open a book to a random page and ask your child to read it aloud, if you have to assist them 1 time, the book is too easy. If have to assist them 2-3 times, the book is just right. And if need to assist them 4-5 times, the book is too hard.”
