  4. WHAT ARE STUDENT-LED BOOK CLUBS? • Small, peer-led discussion groups whose members have chosen to read the same story, poem, article, or book • Members make notes while reading independently to help them contribute to a discussion • Everyone comes to the group with ideas to share

  5. HOW DO STUDENT-LED BOOK CLUBS ALIGN WITH RESEARCH? • Dana Grisham, San Diego State University (1999) documents benefits for at-risk students • Fall, Webb, and Chudowsky (2000) found better outcomes when kids talked with a peer • Nystrand (2006) noted that even small amounts of conversations improved test scores

  6. INGREDIENTS TO MAKE DISCUSSIONS WORK • Students choosetheir own reading materials • Small, temporary groups formed based on book choice • Different groups read different books • Groups meet on a regular, predictable schedule to discuss their reading Daniels, Harvey.

  8. MORE INGREDIENTS TO MAKING IT WORK • Students use written notes to guide their reading and discussion • Discussion topics come from students • Group meetings aim to be open, natural conversations about books • Teacher serves as facilitator, not a group member or instructor Daniels, Harvey.

  10. In small groups, we are smarter. In well-structured groups, we leverage each other’s thinking. We learn more not just because we all bring different pieces of the puzzle, but because, through talk, we can actually make NEW AND BETTER MEANING TOGETHER. —Stephanie Harvey and Harvey Daniels
