US Grade 2 - 5
Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo is a touching and laugh-out-loud adventure about friendship, hope, love, and courage. This fun story will quickly draw your child in and be one they won't want to put down. During our sessions, I will help learners dive a little deeper into our story by leading them through discussions and activities related to the chapters read. Learners will also have the opportunity to share their responses from the assigned activity. Learners will be asked to read about 13 chapters (don’t worry the chapters are VERY short!) before each class (averaging 46 pages) and complete the assigned activity that will be posted in the classroom after our first meeting. This book club is an excellent opportunity for your child to sharpen their reading comprehension skills, gain insight from others’ perspectives, and have a fun time reading an unforgettable story.

There are a few family issues that arise in this story. Flora’s parents are divorced and we see a struggle with that. Another character in the book is dealing with rejection. The overall book though is very lighthearted and fun.

Kate DiCamillo is one of my favorite authors. When I taught in the classroom, I always used Kate DiCamillo’s books to read aloud to my students because she does a great job of helping readers to learn important life lessons and think deeply. I also have a Masters in Reading, and it is my goal to help your child think deeper about the texts that they read. It would be my pleasure to share this amazing reading adventure with your child.
