How Book Clubs 4 Kids Works

Everything you need to start your Book Club 4 Kids is right here: details on how to initiate your own book club, thoughtfully curated books, instructions on how to conduct each meeting, and additional support materials are provided. We have done all the work, so you don’t have to.

We provide all of the resources to launch and execute your own Book Clubs 4 Kids. A diverse selection of books is provided for you to choose from based on your club’s unique interests.  Additionally, if selecting books feels daunting, book a session with Wendy and she can create a unique sequence of books for you. 

First, download the “How To Kick It Off” guide to get started. Next, download a “ToolKit” to guide you through each book. Designed by an elementary educator, these are straightforward lesson plans to help you lead your group.

You are responsible for securing your own books. Shopping locally is always encouraged.  Many local independent bookstores offer book club discounts. Not sure where to find an independent local bookstore?  Try searching here. The library is another resource.  If you prefer to buy the books on Amazon, you can find a link in each ToolKit.
