- Chapters will be assigned between classes for pacing. 
-We will talk about developing characters, predict what could be happening in upcoming parts of the story, and talk about discussing questions after reading together
-Learners should be able to read at a 4th-grade level and my personal teaching style is to make the class as engaging and fun as possible!
-Feel free to join this book club no matter where we are at in the section! I can you know how to get caught up or what date would be best to start. I would love to have you!
