Let's Read - Book Club for 7-11 Years (Small Group)

Join this engaging reading book club designed for KS2 learners aged 7–11 who are reading at higher levels (Stage 7 and above, such as Oxford Reading Tree levels). In this small group class, learners will develop advanced reading skills through guided discussion, comprehension activities, and exposure to more complex texts and themes. This course supports learners as they move beyond basic decoding into deeper comprehension, inference, and critical thinking. Students will be encouraged to analyse characters, explore themes, make predictions, and justify their ideas using evidence from the text. Each session is interactive and discussion-based, giving learners the opportunity to share opinions, ask questions, and engage in thoughtful conversation about the books they read. The class also supports vocabulary development, fluency, and confident expression in both speaking and listening.
