THE FIVE FINGER TEST - Is this book too hard for me?

To check whether a book is too easy or too hard, try this simple test.

---

Open the book at any page and start reading.

Each time you come to a word you don't know put down one finger on your left hand.

If you reach five tricky words on the same page, and have placed down five fingers, perhaps the book is a bit hard for you at the moment.

Put it back for now and try again next term or next year.

Now you've got it!
