US Grade 4 - 6
In this book club, we will read and discuss different middle grade books. Books need to be read before each class. Class will start with introductions and conversation before moving into discussion. Discussion will consist of general questions for everyone to answer and comprehension questions for anyone to answer that wants to. Class will end with a preview of the next book. Students do not need to attend every class if they don't want to; they can choose which books they want to read.

Parental Guidance
Parents may want to check content in each book to be sure it is appropriate for their child. Some books deal with difficult topics so parents may need to discuss outside of class with their students. We will discuss each book in class and if any topic is too sensitive, we will move past it quickly or address it thoroughly if that is what is needed.
Supply List
Students need access to each book. I recommend checking with a library first.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, everyone! My name is Kayla Grose. I love to teach classes that deal with reading and books. Books can do so many different things to enhance one's life and I love seeing people, particularly children, discover what you can learn through books. You can visit other countries or worlds, see how other people might live their lives (as though looking through a window), or see yourself represented in a book (as though looking in a mirror). Books can help us to learn about so many things and I hope your learner discovers this through reading.
I am a librarian in a public library with a focus on youth services. I now work in adult services, but I have done story times in both the library and local elementary schools. I have also done book clubs in the local high school. I taught English as a second language to children in China for several years. I have also given flute lessons before. I have a Bachelor's degree in History and Sociology & Anthropology and a Master's degree in Library Science.
I love to encourage the students I deal with to think freely. It is fascinating hearing how different people interpret different books. Sometimes everyone thinks roughly the same thing; other times the thinking on a book is varied and leads to a great discussion. Everyone reading a certain book may not be viewing it the same way. Some may be looking at the book through a window, seeing something that they haven't personally dealt with or seeing a culture, race, etc. and the struggles they have. Some students may be reading the book through a mirror, seeing themselves and their own struggles in the book. I love to hear different thoughts on the books and how it may have helped a student or even changed their way of thinking.
In my free time, I love reading, playing with my animals, and traveling! I love going on hikes and learning new things. I'm currently trying to learn to crochet and knit and I would love to start learning to paint.Reviews
