For guided reading, do you think challenge books are acceptable occasionally?

This is a great method to keep kids involved in reading from a young age and keeping them motivated. Thank you for this! It ties in really well with a conversation I had with my Mom (a Clinical Psychologist) about sharing our love of reading with our kids:

I was taught this by my Munchkin’s teacher, but I wasn’t sure if it was 5 fingers for the whole book or just the page. Thanks for clarifying.
