Many
adults enjoy the leisure of participating in book clubs. It is a great way to allow readers to discuss
books in an informal setting. The 3rd graders are enjoying the same
kind of community-building experience by meeting with friends to read, and discuss books together. Their meetings have come to life with amazing
discussions.
By
interacting with a book, our 3rd graders are increasing their
comprehension and ability to discuss what they know. When groups meet they
complete thoughtful questions, ideas, and Ah ha moments. This has encouraged them to keep reading.
In
Mrs. Adams’ 3rd grade class we have four groups with each group
reading a different book. They are absolutely
enjoying the time they get to discuss their book and I have noticed an increase
in enjoyment for reading along with a greater understanding of what’s been
read.
I
hope that my student’s participation in book clubs will help them become
life-long readers and even want to join a book club as an adult.
