A key to reading is discussion.
Kids become stronger readers by spending quality time talking about their ideas as they read. All we have to do is ask the right types of questions and give kids time and space to share.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Carey Jones
Jess created the sweetest, most nurturing environment for my 7-year-old--the book group exceeded my expectations. Not only did my daughter really enjoy the weekly gatherings, but now when we read at home together she constantly wows me with the insights she has about a book--things I often don't even notice in the text! Jess also offered some simple questions and techniques I can use as a parent that keep things fun but allow my daughter to go deeper into the material. And as a result I see that she is now noticing themes and concepts in her reading that are laying a foundation of future lifelong learning and reading success. I found the book group to be a perfect add-on to what my daughter is already learning in her school's reading curriculum, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to other families.

“Book Jacket Club was a wonderful experience for my seven year old daughter, Emmy. It’s a unique way to enrich your child’s interest in reading and build long-term comprehension skills. Jessica curated a lovely little environment for the group with snacks and breaks when needed. Emmy truly loved these weekly meetings, always having interesting comments after each session. There was parent support provided as well, offering techniques and tips to use when reading to your children at home. Jessica is truly a gifted teacher, the excitement and pure joy she brings to reading and teaching shines through, sparking additional interest for our young readers! All of this makes Book Jacket Club a magical little learning experience - so grateful to be part of it!”
