Book Projects with Depth

I want my students to love reading. Cultivating a love for reading while also improving reading levels requires a delicate balance between skill practice and well... fun.

My first round of Book Club is done with my small guided reading groups. Each group is given a choice of books at their level, and we meet daily (with my higher groups every other day,) practicing various skills and engaging in book talks. Through these groups, I set the stage for more independent work and student led discussions. Throughout the series, we gather information to create a Dodecahedron Final Project   Throughout the years, I have created several novel study packets that end with a Dodecahedron as the final project.

The kids love these, and the final project is so great for display!

A class favorite! We finished our small group book clubs with this project. 12 panels covering various story elements and skills. My class LOVED creating these and the product is always so fun!
