A classroom book club helped students grow as readers while building community through shared stories. The club was the culmination of earlier reading experiences and offered a space for students to engage more independently.

To guide their conversations, participants used the “Say Something” strategy, responding with personal connections, predictions, questions or highlighting their favourite part or character. The variety of genres, topics and reading levels ensured the club was inclusive and accessible to all learners.

For many, the classroom book club became the favourite part of their week and a chance to think deeply, share ideas and grow as readers. It was also a joyful way to ignite a love of reading.
