[close] William Nicholson, author of Shadowlands wrote, “We read to know we're not alone.” In this session, learn how to build up your English Language Learners with free reading books that will help them feel welcome. Gain some techniques for implementing successful choice reading in the secondary classroom with a selection of books that will be inspiring for all learners and help learners new to English to engage with text. We will also discuss some of the best ways to encourage struggling readers, how to talk about what we're reading, and how to assess student's reading growth at the secondary level without standardized tests. Please feel free to bring some book titles you've loved in your classroom or school.

[close] The deets.. Meetings are the last Wednesday of the month at Iron and Gold at 6p. We read both fiction and non-fiction books with a wide variety of themes: food or drink related, California related or based authors, immigrant authors and stories about immigrants. And we also have if-there's-a-book-we-want-to-read-and-it-doesn't-fit-a-theme-we-read-it-anyway rule... :-) We're also one of the most low key book club you'll run across -- no requirement to complete or even start the book (as long as you don't tell people they can't discuss spoilers :-) ).

[close] A book club that celebrates all kinds of stories: Queer/LGGBTQIA+, BIPOC, Immigration, etc. We aim to bring passionate readers in Toronto together to discuss these inspiring stories. Note: Currently, we are ONLY accepting people from the Greater Toronto Area.
