Presentation transcript:

Presented by: Sharon Folds Leigh Anne Smith Molly Smith

1. Never drag a child to a book club. The idea must appeal to the child. 2. Look for members with interests and personalities that complement each other. Look for members with: a. An interest in reading b. Similar reading skill levels c. Similar ages or grades d. An acquaintance or friendship with someone in the group e. A cooperative attitude f. Comfort with discussion g. An interesting mix of viewpoints

3. Plan activities, crafts or outings inspired by the book: a. Come dressed in period costumes. b. Write to the book’s author. c. Bring food from cultures represented in the book. d. Take lots of pictures. e. Keep a book club scrapbook. f. Visit a site mentioned in the book.

4. Keep the same meeting place and time. (We will met in the library at 3:45 p.m.) 5. Recruit teachers and school staff to help. 6. Meet monthly, even if you decide to read one book every two months. Meeting consistently is the key. 7. Kids love to eat. Make snacks/food part of the club.

8. Keep it small, around 20 members. Have multiple club groups if needed. 9. Plan for the meeting to be 1 hour to 1 ½ hours for older students. (Time is needed for snacking, discussion, and activities.) 10. Don’t forget the boys! Book clubs attract mainly girls unless you promote well.

1. Introductions – Sign in! 2. The purpose of a book club is to encourage and develop a love for reading. 3. Meet 3:45-4:45 second Tuesday of each month. 4. Begin with snacks and 15 minutes of chat time to facilitate relationship building among members. 5. Discuss business issues (if any) 6. Break into groups; each group will have supplies/materials to complete a 25 minute activity – art, writing, or research 7. End with a 20 minute discussion
