I am an experienced elementary teacher and reading specialist. Reading is my passion and I love inspiring reading in the younger child!

Prior to each meeting of the ‘Circle of Friends’ book club, the girls will be given the chapters to read ahead of the meeting for that week. 
*A worksheet will be available to complete after reading each part of the book which works out to two classes a month for each book.

The assessment will be an informal one done as each class discussion occurs.

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

All books can be found at the following businesses: Amazon, Ebay, Barnes & Noble or Target. I ordered off of Amazon, Ebay and Target. You can also check with your local library.
