During small reading groups, Mrs.Whitworth's students have been enjoying reading through "book clubs".  Why book clubs?  

Book clubs...

• Promote a love for literature and a positive attitude towards reading;
• Reflect a student-centered model of literacy;
• Invite natural discussions that lead to student inquiry and critical
  thinking;
• Support diverse responses to text;
• Foster interaction, cooperation, and collaboration;
• Provide choice and encourage responsibility;
• Expose students to literature from multiple perspectives; and
• Nurture reflection and self-evaluation.
