acronym, “I PICK”.

I answers the question…
“What book should I choose?”
Finding a book that is a great fit
for you will give you the best
opportunity for success!
I PICK
P answers the question…
“What is my purpose for
wanting to read the book?”
You should have a purpose when choosing a
good-fit book. Is the purpose for research?
Or, are you simply reading for some fun?
I PICK
I answers the question…
“What sort of book am
I interested in reading?”
Do you want a book like the one you just
finished? Do you want a mystery? Or are you
more interested in learning about sports?
Whatever the book, make
sure it is of interest to you.
I PICK
C answers the question…
“Do I comprehend the
book that I chose?”
Whatever book you choose, make sure that you
can comprehend it. If you find yourself asking a
lot of questions and things are sort of confusing,
then maybe the book isn’t a good-fit book.

K answers the question…
“Do I know the words?”
Whatever book you choose, make sure that you
can understand the words. You should know
most of the words that you read. If you don’t,
then the book is not a good-fit book.
