The five finger test

Have you ever pulled out a book from a shelf and can't figure out if the book is suitable for you? Here's a quick way of determining whether a book is easy enough for you to understand.

  • Select any page in the book
  • Hold up five fingers in one hand and begin to read
  • If you don't understand a word, put down one finger
  • If you have put down five fingers before you have finished the page, put the book back on the shelf!
  • Find another book!
