I love this idea!!!! I taught kindergarten and first grade for 15 years...."back in the day". I think that you should use "BIG BOOKS"..real BIG BOOKS that have rhyme, repetition, and predictability. I would introduce the books first as read alouds to the class and then let the children choose which book they would like to discuss in their book clubs (just get the small copies for the literature circles). I would even introduce the students to simple literature circle roles and how to use sticky notes to flag an important part of the book they want to share with their group.?? THIS IS the best idea.? I would love to publish this with you....I think this would also be a great grant proposal...WOW!!! From, Dr M.

I would like to start a book club for my Kindergarten students. I'm interested in knowing how to go about implementing this or getting some ideas of what you have done in your classroom. My goal is to motivate my students to want to read - I've incorporated some interesting boy books like those on trucks and motorcycles. Ideas or advice? As always - a big thanks! -- Don't Doubt the Dream!
