閱讀理解技能讀書俱樂部：四年級和五年級

In this reading comprehension skills book club, students will read high-quality books as they practice fluency, comprehension, vocabulary skills, and more! All chosen books will be at a fourth/fifth grade reading level. 
 
This class will meet twice a week for two weeks. Students will be expected to read the selected books (reading agreed upon chapters prior to each meeting) independently outside of class. We will meet together after each section to discuss characters, setting, plot, sequence of events, make predictions, and complete activities aimed at building our reading skills. 

Class Structure For Each Meeting Will Follow This Format

Before Meeting :
Students will watch a recorded teacher-created introduction video prior to reading that will go over the course structure, introduce the text, and pre-teach any suggested reading strategies/note taking tips for the week. 


Students will come to class having read the selected chapters. 


5-10 Minutes: Introduction and Informal Discussion 
Students will be encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas about the characters and setting. Discussions will be guided by the teacher, but student led topics are also welcome as they relate to the book. 

10 Minutes: Book Club Style Questions (formal discussion) 

10 Minutes: Activity - This will vary depending on the class number and the book - examples include character flip charts, interactive reading strategy note cards, illustrations, vocabulary comics, and more! 

10 Minutes: During our final ten minutes, we will be making predictions, having closing discussions, and previewing the content for our next meeting.
