Choosing Books at the Right Reading Level
"Just-right books" make reading more fun
• and less frustrating.
Question: How can ! help my daughter choose books
that are at her reading level?
Answer: "Just-right books" make reading more fun
and less frustrating. Have your child try the "five-fin-
ger test" to select a book.
1. Choose a book you would like to read.
2. Look at a page in the middle.
3. Put one finger down for every word you can't read
or don't understand. If you have five fingers down, the
book may be too hard.
4. If you have fewer than five fingers down, the book
is "just right!" Read it.
Your child may want to read a book that is "too hard"
based on this test. That's okay. Just make it a book that
you read aloud to her, or that you read together (per-
haps alternating pages or chapters; or she reads, but you
sit alongside to answer questions or help her with chal-
lenging words).

viewed. Motion to accept

Treasurer's Report
Troy Downs reported
on the financials. Troy re-
ported that he is going to
be transferring some
moneyfrom the money
market account due to low
funds in the checking ac-
count due to disburse-
ments.
Troy reported that he
determined the cost of
goods sold and we are
showing a profit margin of-
29.6%. Board discussed
that we are losing money
when outside organiza-
tions use the booster club
product for their events.
We will need to determine
if we need to adjust the
amount of money re-
turned to outside organi-
zations for using our con-
cessions. One possible op-
tion would be to give them
45% of gross profits and
then increase some of the
current product pricing.
The board discussed
some other alternatives to
decreasing the percentage

of revenue that outside or-
ganizations receive. Pos-
sible alternatives would be
to increase prices to be
comparable with other
schools' pricing, decrease
the number of candy op-
tions to include only the
popular candies and elimi-
nate pizza from some of
the events, particularly
baseball and softball con-
cessions.
