Each club (defined by book title) has a chat time moderated by a certified teacher for a half hour every week*. Make sure you've read your assigned pages before your live chat time! Message boards will be available for those who miss the "Chat with the Teacher". Chat rooms are open 24 hours for students to discuss books at their leisure with other students.

There are many titles at each grade level to choose from. New book clubs at each grade level are starting every two weeks. Read and participate in any and all of the on-going discussions. You can join in on as many of the clubs as you wish.

Explore all your options. You don't have to be reading on grade level to participate. Just pick a level you're comfortable with and have fun! A list of "challenging" words in the assigned text are identified and sounded out for you in the Talking Dictionary *as you click on each sound picture (aka-letter). So if you pick a challenging text, immediate support is available 24 hours a day. Click on the demo button to see how the "Sound It Out" feature works!

Feel free to make suggestions to make this site more fun and interesting to you!

Welcome to our Book Club! Here, readers in grades 1-12 can participate in book clubs of their choice, at their own reading level.

Moderated by a certified teacher, and reading specialist, readers can take on reading challenges, discuss the current books, chat with other students in the club, write book reviews to have published on the site, and much more.

This is an interactive site carefully monitored by a certified teacher to challenge and encourage children to read more and to think further about what they read.
