1-on-1 Reading Buddy Book Club for Early Readers
A private weekly book club for ages 5 to 8 who are starting to read on their own. Child and tutor take turns reading a short book and talk about the story together.
Class Experience
Each session uses a book at the child's level, chosen with the parent. They take turns reading pages aloud, and the tutor pauses to predict, wonder and laugh along. The session ends with a quick retelling or a drawing of a favorite part. The tone is warm and unhurried, so reading feels like a treat.
How classes work
Each 30-minute session is one learner with one teacher. There is no fixed lesson plan or set number of sessions: families book as many as they want, and the teacher sets the pace and focus around the learner's goals and gives feedback as they work.
What we can work on
Getting to Know You and a First Book – Read together and find the right level.
Predicting – Guess what happens next and check.
Characters and Feelings – Talk about how characters feel.
Retelling – Tell the story back in order.
Why Questions – Explain why things happened.
Reading with Expression – Use voices and punctuation.
New Words – Work out meanings from pictures and context.
Favorite Book Celebration – Reread a favorite and share it with family.
