Book clubs will meet each Friday for a month. Students vote for books they would like to read and are assigned to a club based on their interest and book availability. Clubs meet for one month and students are expected to complete their book during that time. Students do most of the required reading on their own although they follow a reading schedule created by themselves and their club members. (Reading schedules are recorded on Monthly Assignment Calendars and should be located at the front of your kiddo's binder.) When monthly book clubs are complete, we start the process all over with new clubs and new books. Book clubs will continue throughout he school year.
Titles read for book club count towards each child's 40 Book Genre Requirement and make reading even more fun! Friday book club meetings involve group discussions as well as activities. Talking about parts of the text and encountering the text with a wide variety of experiences enhances students' comprehension, making book club a great avenue for reading instruction.
Talk to your child about his or her book club today!!!
