[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, you are not understanding. APS’ reading curriculum the past few years has been Lucy Calkins reading units. The reading units have students mostly do research or use short texts or a read-aloud to practice skills. Separately some teachers also do book clubs where students read novels in groups. This happens  once or twice per year. 
Now we will have a new curriculum that no teacher has been trained in yet. It remains to be seen if there will be mandated book clubs or if teachers will have time to run them on the side. No one can answer your question for sure.

My APS 5th grader this year read 2 books for book clubs this year in 5th. She chose the books from a set of choices for one and then was put in a group for the other one.
She is an avid reader so always had a book for independent reading when she had time at school.

Each school is different and. O one can answer your question for certain.[/quote]

Why in the world does have LC reading units prevent teachers from also saying "everyone pick a novel, read it over the next month, then write a paragraph about the book"??  I'm not looking for dissertations here.[/quote]
