READING RESOURCES: 
​Book Club

Below you will find a collection of resources I have used to support the development of student reading and comprehension. Many of the learning experiences are scaffolded using thinking routines adapted from the work of Ron Ritchhart and templates from Sheena Cameron and Louise Dempsey. Please visit the thinking routines tab to find out more about each of the routines.

BOOK CLUB


Picture
In Term 4 2017, we embarked on our first book club. Students were asked to form groups of 3-4 students with people they were going to be able to read, comprehend and discuss a text with. In Week 1, we visited the school library where groups needed to choose a text that matched the following criteria:
  • must be age-appropriate 
  • must be an unseen chapter book
  • majority consensus on the book
The following Book Club document contains learning experiences students will engaged with as they predicted, visualised, questioned, infered, synthesised and summarised the text in order to gain a deeper understanding of it. 

Some of the resources I have created and others have been adapted from the works of:
  • Ron Ritchhart - thinking routines
  • Sheena Cameron​ - teaching reading comprehension
These adaptions have occurred as a result of learning needs within my classroom.
