I am a certified teacher with 26 years of experience in Canadian classrooms.  I specialize in Middle Years English and have led hundreds of book clubs with countless fifth and sixth grade children. I have truly enjoyed every minute of it. Perhaps most telling of all, I have been enthralled with “Anne of Green Gables” my whole life...so much so, that I went to Prince Edward Island and bought a farmhouse there!!

-Reading of the novel is done primarily as homework before each meeting(If the text is too hard for your child to understand, parents may feel free to read sections aloud to the child for better enjoyment of the novel.)
