zzBook Club: The Twits by Roald Dahl

This classic book by Roald Dahl (who also wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory among other classics), is a wonderful story for kids of all ages. 
We will do reading on our own before each class and practice our oral reading skills in class. Children are not forces to read out loud during class, but are encouraged, and asked each time if they would like to. During the first half of the class, we will discuss key plot points, our favorite parts, and other memorable moments. We may also do an activity based on the lesson of the week.  
**You do not need to read before the the first class. 
About the book as stated on AMAZON: "From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and The BFG! Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, nastiest, ugliest people in the world. They hate everything—except playing mean jokes on each other, catching innocent birds to put in their Bird Pies, and making their caged monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. They don't just want out, they want revenge."
