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.
