The Magic Tree House Book Club for Friendship & Discussion
Young readers need a book club too! Kids get to share their love of books with friends, discussing their favorite characters, their adventures, and their problems. Learners build discussion skills and great reading habits.
Section Options / Enroll:
Description
Learners, armed with a magical treehouse, travel through time to visit dinosaurs, explore ancient Egypt, and even meet famous historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and Leonardo da Vinci. Join us on our adventure, discovering new lands and unraveling mysteries.
A social book club is a perfect way to increase:
π a love of reading
π closer reading
π£ discussion skills
πreading level
π§ creativity
β€οΈβπ©Ή empathy
π§ concentration
π academic skills
π vocabulary
π Even better, learners gain a better understanding of themselves, others, and the world around them. A book club brings the best of a social group together with the academics of a book club. It can get reluctant readers moving through books and avid readers looking more closely at the literature.
πππππ ππππππππππ:
We discuss a new book during each class, so π©ππ ππ€π€π π¨ππ€πͺπ‘π ππ π§πππ ππππ€π§π ππ‘ππ¨π¨. Students learn reading strategies, how to analyze, who they are as readers, and how to communicate about literature and life! They will begin to develop their own criteria for evaluating the books they read, and they will begin to understand the type of readers they are. To do this, each student takes a turn talking about the book, and the teacher will probe a bit to get each learner to do deeper thinking. Because it’s a discussion class, we encourage students to leave their cameras on, to use the chatbox to expand the discussion, and to think about what they want to say before class begins.
Feel free to join us for all the books, or just the ones you want. Pop in and out of the class as you wish, or transfer to different sections if your schedule changes. Sometimes students don’t quite finish the book, but they are still welcome to attend–they can tell their teacher they would like to pass on the discussion and just want to listen; however, we also ask questions that are applicable to reading in general, and these topics can be discussed whether they read the book or not.
