¡Lee, piensa y comenta! Club de lectura y laboratorio de habilidades de lectura para secundaria

📖 Welcome to a reading experience designed just for middle school learners! In this 4-week book club, students will choose from a list of popular, age-appropriate middle grade books, then dive into the story while building key reading strategies like:

✅ Annotation
✅ Making inferences
✅ Exploring character development
✅ Discussing theme and author’s craft

Our first class features a Book Talk, where learners will preview exciting book options across multiple genres and choose one to read during the course. Discussions and skill-building activities will guide them in connecting with the text while developing confidence and comprehension.

This course balances literary learning with student enjoyment, empowering readers to think deeply and talk meaningfully about what they read—all in a welcoming, inclusive space.
