☀️ Join me in this summer book club for the avid OR reluctant reader to improve & grow a love of reading as we read 5 books from different genres and discuss our thoughts as well as theme, plot, characters, setting & more! ☀️

📚 Do you want to encourage summer reading for your child?
📚 Does your child read the same book series over and over again?
📚 Are you looking to build a reading community for your child focused on strong discussions?
📚 Well don’t worry… we’re ready to SPLASH into summer reading!

This book club is broken down into easily readable amounts of pages so that your learner can enjoy reading rather than feel like it is a chore! With a focus on discussion, this book club will allow your learner to ask questions, share insights, and learn more about story elements such as plot, theme, author’s craft, & more! Who knows… your child just might find their new FAVORITE book! Join me as we dip our toes into different genres such as historical fiction, mystery, biography, & more! 🎉

⭐️ There is flexibility in how these are read. Learners can read the physical book, listen to audiobooks, or be read to by someone else. Choose what’s best for you! ⭐️
