About Our Free Community Book Clubs

 

Curriculum 

Classes are designed for early readers, ages 4-7 years old. Book clubs feature a particular children’s book or series and teach early reading and writing skills such as phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension. Our teachers incorporate movement and multisensory learning by acting out new words, using tools to learn new letters and sounds, and art to teach comprehension. Books are carefully chosen based on factors such as diversity, inclusion, and social-emotional growth. Our curriculum is research-based and built to help children grow as readers.
