Hello!
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

breeze through them and write down the ones that interested us. It was
similar to speed dating but with books. It was really neat and although we

I'm sure you'll get lots of great suggestions for transitioning into book
clubs, so I'm writing with a different message--sometimes it's okay to lose

5th grade. Modeling what is expected with an actual group in front of the
whole class would be great. Have you thought about using the

Im a literacy graduate student, and Im in the process of making an iMovie
about book clubs. Since book clubs were recently brought up, I was wondering
if anyone could share about their book clubs in more detail. I am also

In the school that I am working in I have watched a fifth grade class do book
clubs. The children are in groups and they pick a certain book as a group.
