Have you ever picked up a book and could NOT put it down? This is the feeling I want my students to get when they get the opportunity to choose a book they love. Book clubs are a way for kids to interact with the book they are reading.
I will be creating book clubs in my classroom. Students will be given the book choices in a menu. They will get to choose the book most interesting to them. They will meet with their book club once a week to discuss what they have read and decide how many pages to read before the next week. As they devour the book they love, they can discuss the plot with other students in their book club.
The purpose of the book club is to get students excited about reading by providing them the choice in what they read and the collaboration of discussing what they are reading with their peers. As a result, they will become lifelong readers.
