Book Club

Why are book clubs important?

As an instructional context, book clubs:

• Deepen readers' appreciation and understanding of a common text
• Extend students' thinking as they process and interpret the perspectives and opinions of their peers
• Expand students' ability to express their ideas orally using academic language
• Provide an authentic context for applying norms for listening and speaking.

"As students bring together much of their learning during book clubs, they find themselves in control." – Irene C. Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell

Year 5 and Year 6 Book Club will be beginning in week 4 of Term 1. Book Club will be held on Friday mornings, 9:15am - 9:45am. If you are available to assist in guiding groups for these sessions, please email your child's classroom teacher to inform them of your availability.
