I have had some questions about Book Clubs and how they can benefit some of our high flyers. I have compiled several resources for you to check out. I have novel study sets in my classroom you are welcome to borrow if needed.
Benefits of Book Clubs:
- Expose students to different types of text
- Promote a love for literature
- Foster interaction and collaboration
- Help students gain new friends and interact with different students.
- Gain new perspectives
- Practice teamwork
- Problem Solve
- Presenting Skills
- Support writing skills
- Nurture reflection and self-evaluation
The Teacher Trap has a great post on how to get Book Clubs up and running in your classroom!
I love the focus on real reading!
This is an AWESOME post about creating a reading culture in your classroom!
The idea of Jot Spots from Two Little Birds Teaching would be fantastic for students in book clubs to jot down their thinking and then have their post its to share during a group discussion time.
Grab this FREE rubric from Rocking Teacher Materials on TPT! Hilary's book club resources are amazing!
Kristine Nannini at the Young Teacher Love blog has a great resource that includes assigned jobs for the students to use during the book club.
Here are some ideas for novels for ages 9-12 from Mom to 2 Posh Divas. If you decide to read The City of Ember, let me know. It is my FAVORITE!
I would love to plan a book club with you!
