“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.” — Dr. Seuss
Eager Readers is a weekly Book Club aimed at children between 9 to 11 years old, however keen readers of all ages are welcome. Every week, we will discuss a selected book with others who love reading. Each book will last between 8-10 sessions.
If you have not tried a book club yet, the start of a new book is a great place to start. Each week we will have fun exploring specific themes before breaking off into small groups to talk about the books in more detail. We can even do some drama activities based on our reading. Reading aloud and drama tasks will always be optional, so you do not have to participate in these activities if you don’t want to. You will need to read the required chapters before each session, so you have plenty of ideas to share!
The current book is A Place Called Perfect by Helen Duggan. The next book commencing on the week if Monday 9th September is The Book of Stolen Dreams by David Farr.
Please note, that all our books are chosen to be age-appropriate but also to ensure interesting and stimulating discussion! It is the parent or carer’s responsibility to ensure they are happy with their child reading the chosen book.
For safeguarding purposes, each Zoom lesson includes a brief registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange an alternate method of registration for them.
