Every year Mrs. Games starts the year with a lesson on choosing your "Just Right" book. We compare books to shoes. Different shoes have different purposes. Some are for exercise, rain, fancy occasions, or just hanging around the house. Books can be the same. Some books are for giving us information or just fun to read!
Different books fit different people too. Mrs. Games can't fit into Alivia's shoes and Alivia can't wear Mrs. Games's shoes. They can't be too big or too small. We have to find the shoe that is "Just Right." When we are reading, we need to look for the book that fits us "Just Right." It can't be "too big" or "too small" or we won't grow as readers.
Leila is using what she has learned to choose a "Just Right" book.
