Ask yourself these questions. If your answer is YES, the book is probably:

Too Easy

• Have you read it lots of times before?
  
• Do you understand the story very well?
  
• Do you know almost every word?
  
• Can you read it smoothly?
  

Just Right

• Is the book new to you?
  
• Do you understand a lot of the book?
  
• Are there just a few words a page that you don't know?
  
• When you read, are some places smooth and some choppy?
  

Too Hard

• Are there more than 5 words on a page you don't know?
  
• Are you confused about what is happening in most of this book?
  
• When you read, does it sound pretty choppy?
  
• Is everyone else busy and unable to help you?
