Elementary Book Club: How It Works
Bookworm Circle is the 3rd grade and up book club I designed. We meet monthly to eat snacks, talk about the book of the month, play games, and do a craft. It’s a book club that is focused on activity rather than on discussion. Turns out, when the kids feel like the attention isn’t solely on answering questions, they’re more likely to voice their opinions. Woohoo!
This book club is also an awesome way to introduce kids to books they may not pick up on their own (books in verse, historical fiction, non-fiction picture books, graphic novels, comedic stories, etc.). Also, I welcome the kids whether they read the whole book or not. Because of this, they are more likely to show up each month, even if they didn’t make reading the book a priority or if they didn’t like the book. But, I’ve noticed that the kids who don’t read the book one month will read it the next month. They want to enter in on the discussion with the other kids!
