****Please read each book's description so that you can decide if you want your child to read the book. You can do an internet search for each book's summary. Kirkus Reviews is a good website, and so is Common Sense Media.**** Welcome to the Middle Grades Book Club! In our weekly book club, your child will read and discuss different types of fiction novels and engage in book-related activities. Besides building a love of reading, book clubs have many benefits: Children read books they might not normally read. The book discussions promote deep thinking about a book. Kids get useful practice with forming opinions and using the text to help support their thinking. Books open a child's world to new ideas, vocabulary, cultures, and activities, and they allow kids to experience all sorts of adventures. Literacy skills such as reading comprehension skills, analyzing plot, themes, characters, and setting are developed by reading. Your child may join our book club at any time because we start a new book about every four weeks. If your child joins after we have started a new book, we will review the previous chapters from the previous meeting or meetings. ****All learners must be enrolled in the club to be fair to the other enrolled learners.**** 2025 Thursday 12 pm Eastern time January 9 Absolutely Truly by Heather Vogel Frederick Discuss Prologue-Chapter 10 January 16 Absolutely Truly by Heather Vogel Frederick Chapters 11-20 January 23 Absolutely Truly by Heather Vogel Frederick Chapters 21-30 January 30 Absolutely Truly by Heather Vogel Frederick Chapters 31-40

Hi I'm Miss Robyn, and I enjoy reading! I also enjoy hiking, gardening, cooking, and science. I have taught children of all ages as a public school teacher and as a private instructor with my local home school organization. I have taught reading and writing to elementary age children and literature & composition classes to middle school and high school students. I am a certified teacher in the state of Texas. Since October 2020, I have taught with Outschool and I have met a lot of wonderful, interesting kids! My husband and I homeschooled our two sons from kindergarten through high school.
