Book Clubs for Kids

Moms and daughters read togetherBook clubs, meetings where adults get together in person or online to discuss books that they have read, have gained popularity in recent years. Book clubs for kids and their parents, including mother-daughter book clubs, father-son book clubs, and parent-child book clubs, have also become popular. Book clubs are a great way for parents and children to share books together. By reading books and discussing them together, you can share special time with your child, while helping him develop a love of reading and important language and literacy skills.

Find out how to start a parent-child book club, get tips for organizing and maintaining a book club and suggestions for ways to have great discussions, and learn about the benefits of parent-child book clubs.

    Reading for your kid is a great thing, I encourage all parents to do it. Starting a club is an excellent idea where parents can share ideas and discuss new books together.

    My name is Dale Hayes, I wrote and self published my first children’s book, ”KC..The Good Little Diggy Dog Who Does Naughty Things…is going home”. It is a story of adoption and unconditional love. KC used to live in a shelter and like all the Diggy Dogs, he dreamed of being adopted. Then one day, Mommy and Daddy came to the shelter and picked him out of all the other Diggy Dogs. He was so happy to be going home to begin his new adventures. His lovable, curious and adventurous nature often gets him into naughty situations. This is the first in a series of children’s books that I am writing about our adopted puppy that will inspire imagination, spark dialogue and create teachable moments for young children. They will enjoy sharing in the exploits of this energetic, vivacious little Diggy Dog.

    My book is currently available from Friesen Press at http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/browse/JUV000000/Juvenile%20Fiction.

    I would like some information on what the process would be on how to submit my book to the Kids Clubs. For more information please do not hesitate to contact me

    Thank you for your time.

    I’m writing on behalf of a colleague, the author of Pencil Monster, who is a teacher in the Bay Area. She is trying to promote reading comprehension and make reading fun by creating books that kids need to interact with. Her latest idea is making stories for the iPad. Check out this one: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/pencil-monster/id601883337?mt=11. It’s purposely a short book because students need to illustrate the pages which takes a while…not to mention it’s geared toward the attention span of an 8 year old. I like to use it for early finishers. I think parents would like it because it promotes reading and creativity. 99cents and keeps my kids busy for hours! Please help her promote it if you like it. Thanks!
