Students will experience the joy of reading. They will learn how to make personal connections with the characters and situations in the story and use those connections to make inferences about the characters and the reasons for their actions.    

I'm offering this book club, because I know boys and girls enjoy characters who make mistakes and sometimes behave badly.  As a reading tutor and mentor, I've listened to students read and get excited about the My Weird School series.  We laughed at AJ, but we also discussed his attitude towards school, his teachers, and his peers.  We debated whether or not some of his views were valid and how they affected what happened in the story.  We will have fun doing the same in this book club. I believe students can learn a lot from AJ, his friends, and the wacky staff at Ella Mentry School!
