How do I participate?

Participating is simple! We include a variety of resources to make facilitating your own book club easy peasy!
1. Simply Read (or Watch a Read Aloud) of the featured book each week.
2. Use the suggested conversation questions and featured vocabulary included your book companion set to facilitate discussions with your students.
3. Complete the included extension activities in your book companion, along with any of the other related activities you've planned for the week!

You decide the pacing! You may want to facilitate all of your book club related activities one day a week, or spread them out throughout the whole week.

Our virtual format allows for flexibility, making it easy for educators to participate in a book club at their own pace. Book club participants are invited and encouraged to share photos of their fun book club activities, participate in a LIVE monthly read aloud (or catch a replay), and give feedback about the books they read on the reading list in our optional Facebook Group.
