Frequently Asked Questions

Book Club is a small-group enrichment program where students read age-appropriate, high-interest picture books (K-2) and chapter books (3rd-5th) and participate in guided discussion, hands-on activities, crafts, and games that reinforce reading comprehension, confidence, and communication skills. Our goal is to help students fall in love with reading!

We thoughtfully choose engaging, age-appropriate books that are exciting, developmentally aligned, and fun to discuss.
We focus on strong characters, meaningful themes, vocabulary growth, and reader confidence.

The cost per week is $35. This includes all books, supplies, crafts, and activities.
You will be sent a Venmo or PayPal request on the day of your book club.

If your child is unable to attend, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid being charged. Sessions missed without 24 hours’ notice will be charged, as staffing and materials are reserved.
