📖Book clubs are a great way to get your child excited and engaged in literature, whether they are a reluctant reader or an avid bookworm.  

🤝The best part of being in a book club is having some social time with your peers.  We will begin each class with a few minutes to get to know new friends or catch up with current classmates.  

 😄We will then dive into a thorough discussion about our current read.   We will start the discussion with a brief overview of the assigned reading and then take the conversation to a deeper level. The teacher will facilitate the discussion through open-ended, thought-provoking questions to engage the students to think critically and analyze their reading.  Through these discussions, your learner will increase comprehension and practice public speaking and social skills.

❗Please note, that all reading should take place before coming to class. We will not be reading together during class time.  For the first class of a new book, the student should have completed approximately the first half of the book, and before the second class, they should have finished the book.

⏱️Your student may drop in or take a break at any time.  They may attend for the second half of a book if they have completed all the reading (if they have not completed the book, they may hear spoilers throughout the discussion). 


📚Since each book must be read outside of class, you will need to acquire each book on your own. Books will not be provided by the teacher or Outschool.  Many of these great novels are available in either physical, digital, or audio copies from your local library or may be purchased from book retailers.
