8. Relate books to family activities and events--a vacation trip, a new pet, visiting a museum, etc. Mary Quattlebaum has written Underground Train about a trip on Metro s Red Line. REMEMBER: The public library offers many services, and they are free of charge! Most Montgomery County libraries have shelves of easy-to-read books with yellow tape on the bindings; many have Step-Up books marked with blue tape. Start with these; if they are too easy, ask the librarian for suggestions. Remember the five-finger test: read a whole page aloud and put a finger over every word that gives you trouble. (Proper names do not count.) If all five fingers go down, this is a book to have a grown-up read to you. This year you have read many books that have won the Caldecott Medal. Look for other works by the same illustrators, as well as books by authors you have studied - Aliki, Dr. Seuss, Else Homelund Minarik, David McPhail, and Bernard Waber. Aardema, Verna.
