Activate student agency and connect learning with books that stir captivating discussion
As a teacher of literacy, you transform the lives of the children in your classroom. The Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™ Book Clubs Collection provides an authentic opportunity for children to apply many of the literacy behaviors and understandings that they have learned through other instructional contexts: thinking within, beyond, and about the text; listening and understanding; interacting socially; engaging in extended discussions; and more. As they bring together much of their learning in this one context, children develop a sense of agency. The experience of exchanging ideas with their peers and co-constructing richer understandings of texts is genuinely rewarding.
The Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™ Book Clubs Collection includes 32 titles in grades K-3 and 48 titles in grades 4-6 organized into eight text sets, allowing teachers to conduct book clubs approximately once per month throughout the school year. The books in each text set are connected by genre, theme, topic, author, or illustrator. The books also relate to titles in other instructional contexts, such as Interactive Read-Aloud, Shared Reading, and Independent Reading, allowing children to make connections among texts throughout Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™. A discussion card is included for each Book Club title for teachers to support discussion with groups of readers.
The Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™ Book Clubs Collection, Grade 6 includes:
- 48 trade titles (6 copies each)
- 48 Discussion Cards
- FPC Book Clubs Collection Guide, Grade 6
RECOMMENDATION: Collections to be shared by up to 3 teachers in a centralized book room
