The Simplest Book Club You’ve Ever Joined!

  1. Read the book.
  2. Share your thoughts below on the Choice Literacy Book Club Padlet. We love using this tool in classrooms with students, as well as for professional learning with teachers. Don’t be shy!
  3. Be creative and share inspiration on your social media channels. Recipes, songs, quotes, and memes are all ways to connect with one another and deepen our thinking about the book. Tag your posts with #ChoiceLiteracyBookClub. You’ll find us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
  4. At the end of the month, Choice Literacy contributors gather for a book club discussion. You can listen in on the podcast as we take inspiration from the Padlet and the hashtag #ChoiceLiteracyBookClub.
