One of my kindergartner's chose a chapter book (reading level 3.9) to check out. I asked him to read a page aloud to me and we would do the 5 finger test together. I reminded him to put up one finger each time he came to a word that was hard or he didn't know. If at the end of reading the page he had 5 fingers up is to challenging, 0-1 probably to easy 2-4 a just right challenge.
The kindergartner just looked at the page. He didn't say anything. I prompted again. I asked, "Why aren't you reading it to me?"
He looked at me with confidence and said, "I'm reading it in my head."
What do you say to a comment like that?
