How are books selected for my child?
We use a Personalized Book Matching system.
- Upon enrollment, your child will complete a brief reading assessment
- Based on their reading level, age group, and interests, we handpick a monthly book that is engaging yet appropriately challenging.
How many books will my child read in a year?
In a year, students typically read:
- 3 full-length novels
- 2 short stories or novellas
- 1 graphic novel
What if my child struggles to finish a book?
No worries! Thats why we are here!
We provide:
- Gentle reading goals and reminders via WhatsApp
- Mid-month check-ins to tackle any reading roadblocks
- Guided support to help your child stay motivated and enjoy the process
What happens in the live discussion sessions?
Session 1 (Mid-month check-in):
- We review reading progress, discuss initial reactions, and engage in interactive activities related to the book.
Session 2 (End-of-month deep-dive):
- We delve into deeper discussions about the book’s themes, characters, plot points, and engage in reflective exercises to enhance comprehension and critical thinking. Each session will also have a student discussion leader.
Can my child join anytime during the year?
Absolutely!
- If they join before or around the midpoint of the current book, we’ll help them catch up with summaries and reading notes.
- If they join toward the end of the book cycle, we’ll assign an alternative option (like a short story) so they can jump right in.
