Parents tell me all the time that their children just aren’t reading as much as they should. They worry that their students will fall below grade level in their comprehension and reading skills. It seems like a constant battle for most families.

My reading clubs help with this dilemma by offering time each week to read and discuss interesting books together. Although students will have practice articulating their thoughts on the story and discussing characters, plot, events, vocabulary, and author’s techniques, the emphasis will be on encouraging the pure enjoyment of reading and appreciation of the story. I’ve watched it happen year after year of reading books with children. In a short couple of weeks, they go from not reading much at all to being excited about each week’s readings and looking forward to the next book.

Currently, I’m offering Reading Clubs for children between the ages of 8 and 12 at $50 per club, which includes 4 sessions. However, all ages can be accommodated upon request. Additionally, if a child struggles with reading, audio versions of the books are encouraged.
