Remote Book Clubs: Nurturing Community and Connection

Date of Publication: March 2020

Grounded in student autonomy and choice, a remote book club can help students feel a sense of control during times of uncertainty, build reading into their daily routines, and make meaningful connections with each other through an exploration of literature. 

This guide includes resources and tools designed to help you launch student-centered remote book clubs, including tips for identifying interesting books and getting them to students, teacher planning checklists, and student-facing handouts that support discussion and engagement. 

We hope that you use this guide thoughtfully and creatively and adapt it to fit the needs of your students.
