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

We are on the lookout for Parent Volunteers!

We would dearly love to have parent helpers in to assist with Book Club.

The significance of having a parent assist is incredibly powerful.

If you can spare about half an hour first thing on a Friday morning, please let your teacher know. 

Next week during 'Get to know you' interviews, teachers will have a sign in sheet for you.
