Synchronize your watches spy kids and join us for a fun and casual book club where we meet every week for four weeks to discuss a new novel in the Spy School series by Stuart Gibbs. Teaching in a relaxed and conversational manner, I will be supporting the students' love of reading. Through interactive discussion and use of discussion questions, students will be prompted to think about what they have read, formulate their viewpoint on the book, and share their thoughts with the class. We will discuss the plot, as well as review reading comprehension, character development, vocabulary, descriptions, and the author's writing style. Fast facts on spy history will be included. Finally, we will compare and contrast each book with the others we have read in the series and pick our individual favorites. All students are welcome on our book reading adventures and I can’t wait to hear your opinions on the books. I hope to see you in class! The books we will be reading and discussing include: Week 1: Spy School Stuart Gibbs Week 2: Spy Camp Stuart Gibbs Week 3: Evil Spy School Stuart Gibbs Week 4: Ski Spy School Stuart Gibbs Please review the books prior to signing up your student to ensure the book selections will be a good fit for your family.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been passionate about books since I was a young girl and especially love mysteries and fast-paced, suspenseful novels. I am never without a book! I enjoy book club discussions and think they are a fun and beneficial way for students to develop discerning reading comprehension and communication skills. I am a professional writer/editor and believe good writing comes from good reading. I can’t wait to discuss these novels with your student!
