Student Book Club Guide

Don't let the "summer slide" erode all the reading progress your students have made this year. Encourage students to keep reading over the summer by forming book clubs!

We've created a Student Book Club Guide to share with your students and their parents to help you get the ball rolling. It may help to introduce this in class and send home to parents. To really go above and beyond, gauge interest among students and have them sign up in school. Then, pass it off to one of the most enthused students or parents to take it from there.

This is a great way to ensure that book clubs go beyond cliques and actually help students engage socially. You may also want to specifically encourage those reluctant readers who have the most to lose if "summer slide" takes hold.

The Student Book Club Guide includes a PDF handout to get students (and/or parents) started in creating, organizing and LOVING their book club. It also includes a sign up sheet.

Here's a preview of the Student Book Club Guide contents:
