I heard Lucy Calkins (sorry about that spelling) speak last week in Detroit. I believe she mentioned 4th - 5th grade as being a good time for lit. clubs. The most important thing is that the students are trained in how to handle the lit. club. She showed videos of clubs in action and you wouldn't believe the conversation these kids were having. They need to be well trained and/or versed in how to handle a club situation. It's much more than just reading the same book. You need to model, model and then model some more. Michele
