EPISODE 13

One thing you should know about me is that my friends refer to me as a "serial book club starter". I've left a book club legacy behind in the different states I've lived in and now I'm excited to share how you can add one to your classroom. Let me just tell you though, my excitement pales in comparison to how your students will feel.

 

I'm not exaggerating when I say my students used to BEG me to be in a book club. I think we can all agree that any method that will increase student engagement and motivation towards reading is worth a shot! After all, the more authentic reading experiences the kids have, the more confident they will become.

 

In this episode I share:

  • How book clubs help your students
  • The mistakes I made when I first stared book clubs with my students
  • 5 tips to start student-led book clubs
  • When to incorporate book clubs
