Listen in as: 
I share my solution for literature circles and book clubs. 
Hint I have control issues and couldn’t do it the normal way. 
Listen in as I take you step by step through my roll out and implementation process. 
I talk about: 
-Why to take a guided book club approach to literature discussions in upper elementary grades. 
-How to create buy-in for guided book clubs  in your classroom. 
-How to get started with guided book clubs in your classroom. 
Quotables:
 -Although their need for small group instruction in reading was the same, the way I went about it, the materials I used among other things were all different.
 -A guided book club is composed of a group of students reading at a similar reading level. 
Students have buy-in in choosing the book the group reads. 
-Guided book clubs are a great opportunity to teach students how to discuss books as well as a great time to reteach skills previously taught in mini lessons, but not yet mastered by your class.
