Magic Tree House Book ClubFirst Grade - I use the Magic Tree House book club as an enrichment group with my higher readers in first grade. The are selected by the teachers and come to me once a week during their reading block to give the teachers more time with their lower readers. We meet for a total of 6 meetings and each meeting is on 30 minutes long.
Second Grade - I use the Magic Tree House book club as an enrichment group with my average readers in second grade who need that boost of interest to read outside of the classroom. These students are chosen by the teachers, and we are careful not to chose students who had gone through the book club in the first grade. We meet at a time that is convenient for the second grade team. We also meet for 6 meetings and each meeting is 30 minutes long. Third Grade - I use the Magic Tree House book club as an after school club for third graders. We meet every other week until 4:15. I limit the club to 20 students; if more than 20 sign up I do lottery. During the club we read five different books, so the club lasts about 12 weeks. Students are responsible for reading a book and answering questions, and sometimes an optional fun activity, at home every two weeks. During our time together we discuss the book and do a related activity.
