Educational poster 5-finger rule – determine book reading level

This educational poster helps children determine in a simple and visual way whether a book fits their reading level. Using the 5-finger rule, a child reads one or two pages and counts the number of difficult words. This quickly clarifies whether a book is easy, suitable, challenging, or too difficult.

The poster is suitable for primary schools, libraries, and reading corners, and supports reading promotion, reading motivation, and reading pleasure. Thanks to the clear colors, hand gestures, and short explanation, children can also use the method independently.
