Book Club is an ELA activity that combines reading and discussion of “at level” books in an organized manner. Reading groups are determined by the student’s current reading levels and no more than six students are placed in each reading group to allow full participation by each member of the group. Modifications and adaptations can be made to make Book Club work in any classroom setting. Book Club was created to be used in grades 3rd-5th classrooms and was developedcwith the help of a Reading Specialist.

This 23 slide set includes all you need to set up a Book Club in your Elementary classroom. The set includes:

  • An explanation of what Book Club is
  • Job Assignment explanations
  • Worksheets for each Job Assignment
  • Job Assignment Labels
  • All documents in both an orange pattern print and in black/ white easy to print versions

Want to give your students a cute welcome. Here is a little freebie that I think you will love. It is simple and sweet. This freebie is just enough to help you welcome your little ones to school with a name tag, a welcome letter,(read disclosure) a cubbie tag and a year long desk top name plate. Directions are included to help you with the editable part. 

Disclosure: With this product you cannot change the format of the product nor can you alter the graphics or “right click” the graphics. The product has been flattened in order to secure the format of the product and the graphics. In terms of “editable” is so that you can “fill in” the boxes that read “type text here.”
