What reading level is The Fingertips of Duncan Dorfman book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He took a deep breath, then slowly let it out. His team had won game three, the last game of the day, although it had been a rough game, and not because of their opponents, but because of Carl. Early in the match, when it was Duncan’s turn to draw tiles, he’d picked an N, an E, and an L, which were completely ordinary letters—not disastrous, but not good. Carl, who’d been watching him closely, was shocked that Duncan had picked those tiles. He fiercely wrote on the notepad: FTPS, DORFMAN, FTPS!
...Duncan didn’t have to be told that FTPS meant “fingertips.”
Carl drew three thick lines under the second FTPS.
But Duncan just shook his head no. He had resolved that he wanted to play without any help for as long as he could. Carl was confused, because he believed that Duncan had already used his fingertips to help win the first game. So why wasn’t he doing it again now? Carl wrote on the pad: Why not?
And Duncan just wrote back: Because I don’t want to.
Carl didn’t realize that the good letters Duncan had picked in the first game had been selected completely by chance, and that the second game, against the Wranglers, had, of course, just been a blowout.
