I love to read, always have. In fact I remember even missing the call for my bus and still sitting in class lost in a book. I’m not sure how many times I missed the buss.
Morgan used to hate reading. It was really a struggle to find a book she wanted to finish. Then one day I took her to a book club. She knew if she did not read the book that she would not have anything to contribute when we went back to the next meeting. So she read and something amazing happened. She continued to read, devouring books one after the other. She had become a reader!
I seriously credit the book club for kick starting this love of books in my oldest daughter.
You can imagine how excited I was to hear about the Scholastic Mother Daughter Book Club! I read every day, Morgan reads every day and now we have miss Lauren becoming a reader herself.
The book club launched May 1 with 4 titles: Glory Be by Augusta Scattergood, Pie by Sarah Weeks, The Boy on Cinnamon Street by Phoebe Stone, and Tomorrow Girls: Behind the Gates by Eva Gray, and there will be 2 new featured titles each month.
Along with book selections, the Mother-Daughter Book Club website also features discussion questions and snack suggestions for your book club meetings and a monthly Skype sweepstakes where you can enter to win a Skype visit from one of the authors at your next book club meeting. May’s sweepstakes author is Augusta Scattergood, author of Glory Be.
So far Morgan has been blasting through the books. She is a picky reader and has been happy with all of the books she has completed so far. I can’t even keep up with her!
I think this was a great idea! Especially having the resources on the website to use as well.
