Keheley Kids love to read, and they've proven it once again at our first Book Club meeting. 49 eager readers showed up, and many of them brought their parents! When we got over the initial angst of such a large after-school gathering and decided what we needed to do, we got busy preparing for these enthusiastic readers.
The first thing we needed to do was GET MORE BOOKS! So we did that. We're looking forward to this week's meeting when each member will be checking out a Book Club book and starting on a great adventure with the rest of us. For a complete list of the books we'll be reading, please visit the official Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl website.
All Book Club members will have the goal of completing a book every two weeks. In addition to reading the books, members will be responsible for writing some good questions for each book. We use the questions to prepare for the very competitive Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl in January. I'll be modeling the questioning process for the members at a meeting soon. For now, the students will concentrate on reading the books.
This is exciting, isn't it?! Parents with questions are welcome to send an e-mail: lynn.dye@cobbk12.org
Happy Reading!
