We know how chaotic the beginning of school can be. With so many options for clubs, classes, and groups to join, it can be hard to decide what to prioritize.

Here’s a quick overview of why a book club could be perfect for your 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader this fall:

1. Find Diverse Books They (Actually) Enjoy

Most kids say they don’t like reading because they haven't found books they like. Our Middle Grades Book Club at Poe & Company Bookstore in Milton, GA, is designed with this in mind. We carefully select a variety of books that cater to different interests, including genres like fantasy, mystery, and historical fiction. By exposing your child to a range of genres, we aim to ignite a passion for reading and help them discover books they genuinely enjoy.

2. Normalize Reading as a Hobby, Not Just an Assignment

Many children associate reading solely with school assignments, which can make it feel like a chore. Our book club aims to break this pattern by promoting reading as a fun and relaxing activity. Through engaging discussions and interactive activities, we help children see reading as a rewarding pastime. This shift in perspective can foster a lifelong love of reading, enhancing their literacy skills and overall academic performance.

3. Get Involved in Your Community - Meet New Families

Joining our book club is not just about reading; it’s also about building connections. Our meetings provide a welcoming environment where children can meet new friends and families in Milton, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Woodstock, and beyond. This sense of community can be incredibly valuable, offering both social and emotional benefits. By participating in our book club, your child will have the opportunity to engage with peers, share ideas, and develop new friendships.
