What do "Just Right Books" refer to in a Running Record context?

Books suited for advanced readers
Books that are too hard for the child
Books that challenge but do not frustrate the child
Books that are meant for only group reading

The correct answer is: Books that challenge but do not frustrate the child

"Just Right Books" refers to texts that provide a suitable level of challenge for a reader, ensuring that they can engage with the material without experiencing frustration. In the context of Running Records, which are tools used by educators to assess a child's reading abilities, these books strike a balance where a child can read with some support yet be challenged enough to promote growth in their reading skills. The goal is to find books that are neither too easy nor overly difficult, allowing the child to practice their reading fluently and confidently. These books encourage learning by allowing children to encounter new vocabulary and concepts without feeling overwhelmed, ultimately fostering a positive attitude toward reading and helping them develop better comprehension and decoding skills.
