A fun day at the August Bookclub Meeting!


Welcome to Sabrina's First Grade Bookclub!


This club was started to help Sabrina with her reading and reading comprehension. It also helps her and her sister develop friends of their own. My girls are a mere 16 months apart, today they are 6.5 and 5 years old. When we would have play dates over at our house there was always a lot of fighting over who would play with whom. So I decided to create a positive space for each of them. Thus Sabrina has her First Grader Bookclub and Lilly has her own club. This space is for Sabrina and her club mates.


The girls are getting a lot of great reading time in during our meeting. They are using their skills to sound out words. They are also looking at pictures to get an idea of what the sentences are all about before reading the words.





We had fun this past meeting. The girls read a book named "I need you". We used examples from that book to make our own original book pages.




Our meeting meet every other week. On the "off" weeks Sabrina delivers new library books to everyone to review and bring with them for bookclub. Sabrina has a great time going to the library and trying to find 4 copies of 4 different books. Then we deliver the books to all of the girls houses and they bring them back for us to return to the library.

Once the girls arrive they settle down with a snack and something to drink, then we get into our reading.


Each meeting we take a vote on which book was our favorite and why. We also talk about the books after reading them to assist with reading comprehension.





This week "Buffa Buffalo" was Meredith's favorite book.

Until next week!
