-Don’t forget to read the front and back covers and a few pages to see if it’s interesting.

Step 2:  Once you have chosen a book-

-Consider the complexity.  Is it too easy/too hard?  Check the Lexile.

(Generally, sophomores should be reading at around a 1,000 level Lexile.)  

-Compare the Lexile of this new book to a book you have read in the past. Is the Lexile score in line or is it really different?  You want it to be a little above what you last read.
