S.1-3 Reading Circles
"Literature circles are a topic of interest to various literacy educators, and their use has been discussed in a variety of academic journals, conference papers, and workshops. Teachers at all grade levels utilize literature circles as a vehicle through which students learn to: think critically about literature, express their ideas in oral and written forms, and better enjoy their literacy experiences.
"
Our Reading Circles are a modified version of the Literature Circles. Small groups of students meet regularly to discuss about the books they are reading. Parents help as leaders/facilitators. Group meetings aim to be open, so natural conversations about books, personal connections, digressions, and open-ended questions are welcome. Students take responsibility in their reading and construct meaning together in the group discussion.
