Whether partners share one book or two, are of equal abilities or at very different levels, they can learn how to quickly agree on a book and get started right away. 

Read about an idea we shared at our Denver Workshop for a whole group lesson on I PICK. 

The beauty of the I-PICK method is that students can find a good-fit book wherever they are without being shackled to a colored dot or number.

Here is an article explaining how we introduce choosing good-fit books with our students as well as a pdf of the I PICK form for you to use in your classrooms.
