To gain a love of reading and confidence in discussing opinions about a book

I am a British teacher who teaches many book clubs on Outschool such as Pride and Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, A Christmas Carol, Carrie's War, and so much more. I love helping students gain a love of reading, especially through British literature, the classics, and books that make their characters come to life. I give students the space to discuss their favorite books and add new favorites to their list.

Reading about 6 chapters per week.

Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild book (They could listen to it on audio).

1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.

The book is about three orphans (Pauline, Petrova, and Posy) who were adopted but do not have much money. Boarders come to live at their house, and when given the opportunity to make more money through performing ballet, they take lessons to help their guardian (Sylvia Brown also called Garnie).
