Book Clubs

We run a range of lively, discussion-based online book clubs to help nurture a love of reading in young people. 

Enjoying a Read

Our online book clubs are a fun, easy way to develop your child’s interest in reading.

 

We currently run sessions for home-educated students in two age categories: 

  • Ages 10-12 (Hawks)

  • Ages 13-16 (Eagles)

 

Each session covers:

  • Overall reading experience

  • Core themes

  • The author’s life, intentions and background

  • An interesting ‘History Chunk’

  • Notable language and structural points of interest

  • Critical evaluative questions to stretch and challenge

The benefits of reading really are endless!

 

  • Reading encourages empathy for others.

  • Reading builds vocabulary and teaches correct spelling and grammar.

  • Reading helps develop holistic writing skills.

  • Reading cultivates imagination.

  • Reading nurtures critical thinking and skills of evaluation.

  • Reading improves comprehension skills.

  • Reading offers new and unique perspectives to help interpret the world around us.

Important Information

 

  • All sessions take place conveniently via Zoom.

  • Each session is 1 hour long.

  • The cost is £15 per session, booked in termly blocks. You are welcome to book a single taster session before making a termly booking.

  • Sessions take place once a month, during term time only.

  • Each group is capped at eight people so there is ample opportunity for each child to share their opinions.

  • All books are set well in advance for convenience.

  • Copies or unabridged recordings of books must be purchased independently.

  • All book club members need to read the whole book prior to the session. We do not read during the session.
