ELIZABETH OLSEN READING CAN BE FUN! BOOK CLUBS

THINK OF YOURSELF AS A READER Are you, or have you ever been, in a Book Club? How does a Book Club enhance your understandings and ideas?

WHAT ARE OUR GOALS FOR OUR READERS? Joyful, lifelong readers Read with deep understanding Control the reading process Know how to choose books Enjoy many genres / text types Think critically Synthesize new information and ideas Develop as a person through reading

WHY INDEPENDENT READING AND BOOK CLUBS? Readers need massive amounts of independent reading Readers need to practice fluency in processing text Readers need to find a book they can and want to read Readers need to be free to think deeply Readers need to read a variety of authors and text types Readers need to experience writers’ craft moves

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TALKING ABOUT BOOKS ? Builds relationships with peers Helps to articulate their own understandings and perspectives on texts Ideas are tested in a safe group context Larger text meanings are explored with others Conversational skills are developed Independence from teacher is fostered Valuing others’ ideas and opinions is nurtured Different interpretations of texts are hosted Vocabulary and academic language is developed It’s enjoyable!

BIG IDEAS ABOUT BOOK CLUBS Train the troops! Keep it simple Meaning making is the focus – conversation is grounded in text Club is supportive and positive All club members are included Books are at an independent reading level

THE GRADUAL RELEASE MODEL The path to success with Book Clubs moves from compelling demonstrations, to shared task, to doing it with support, to performing it solo.

1. ADULTS MODEL A BOOK CLUB: “FISHBOWL” Find a colleague who wants to roll out Book Clubs (or another adult or two) Use a rich picture book in which each of you has labeled your thinking Read aloud the picture book to your class(es) Come together in front of your class(es) Tell the students their task: to observe your Book Club for conversational moves and book language Host your modeled Book Club Students share their observations Emphasize book meaning

2. SHOW KIDS’ BOOK CLUB IN ACTION Read Aloud a picture book Show students a kids’ Book Club in action Discuss their observations

LET’S SEE THIS IN ACTION FIREFLIES by Julie Brinckloe

3. BOOK CLUB BOOKS AND BOOK CLUB Roll out first Book Club – begin with your most capable Bring the group together to select a book – controlled choice Provide sticky notes and/or notebooks and bookmarks/thinkmarks Set the first read and meeting Review responsibilities and big ideas

CONSIDERATIONS FOR BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS Books with compelling topics and stories Books that are culturally sensitive and reflect diversity Books that are age-appropriate content Books that are on students’ independent level

4. FIRST BOOK CLUB TEACHER ATTENDS Sit with the Book Club and participate as a member Do not lead – participate equally Debrief with the Book Club at the end

5. WATCH THE BOOK CLUB Sit outside the Book Club Observe and note the behaviors, conversations, and book language Debrief with the Book Club Consider videoing Book Club

GIVE IT A GO Your goal is for the Book Club to operate without you during station / independent reading time. You should be able to host a guided reading group while the Book Club is going on.

HAVE SOME BOOK CLUB GUIDELINES Come prepared with thinking visible Use comprehension language Actively participate using conversational skills Stay on topic and in book Make eye contact Listen carefully - respond to each others’ thoughts Take turns speaking – “excuse me, go ahead” Gently invite quiet friends to talk Respect different ideas, even if you disagree Ask questions Learn something new Have fun!

USE THE LANGUAGE OF READING Make Connections Visualize / Mental Images Synthesize Ask Questions Use Schema Infer Determine Important Ideas *Provide a bookmark/thinkmark

BOOK CLUB THOUGHTS… Collect a few Book Club videos to share with others and future classes Even those who do not participate in a Book Club benefit from Book Club Training Avoid really long books - you know your kids Encourage Book Club members to share their good Book Club moments at Literacy Share Time Be prepared for glitches – work them out together Poor behavior = No Book Club

G R O U P S G Get Along R Respect Others O On Task U Use Quiet Voices P Participate S Stay in Your Group

STUDENT SELF-REFLECTION A “Student Self-Evaluation Sheet” has been provided.

BOOK CLUBS “The truly literate are not those who know how to read, but those who read: independently, responsively, critically, and because they want to.” Glenna Sloan
