[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. During Covid, we had an online book club with three kids over Zoom for about 18 months when they were in 4th–5th grade. They read a new book and met with an online tutor/teacher we paid every two weeks to discuss it. They probably read close to 50 books. Did they benefit? Absolutely. They learned to analyze books, discuss themes, defend opinions, and think critically about what they read. But did they become lifelong kids who voluntarily read constantly after the club ended? Unfortunately, no. Two of the kids were my twins. They are smart kids, and I wish the habit of reading for pleasure had stuck more, but I don’t regret doing it. Even if the reading volume didn’t continue, the vocabulary, reading comprehension, and ability to analyze material stayed with them.[/quote] Could it be it didn’t stick because you took all the fun out of it by doing it this way? Just a thought. [/quote]
