A 6-week online book club for readers in grades 6–8 · One session per week · 1 hour live on Zoom · Starts July 1st

The Joy Ride Book Club is a six-week online reading community where students in grades 6–8 come together once a week to go deep into a novel that was chosen specifically because it has something real to say. Led by an educator with eight years of middle school classroom experience who knows how to build community around literature that sparks conversation and probes thought. The result? A safe space that leads to a life long love of reading.

What your $95 includes

Six live, expert-facilitated book discussions — one per week on Zoom. Each session runs one hour and is led by a highly effective-rated ELA educator whose entire career has been spent teaching this age group. The discussion format is purposeful and student-centered: we check in on the week's reading, go deep on the text together, and end with one reflection activity your student carries into the following week. These aren't passive watch-along sessions — every student in the room has a voice and are encouraged to use it.

A downloadable reading guide built for this book. Before Week 1 begins, a PDF reading guide lands in your inbox. Inside: a week-by-week reading schedule so your student is never behind, discussion questions aligned to every session, journal prompts that build genuine reflective writing skills, and vocabulary context notes for key terms in the novel.

Community, accountability, and a real reason to finish the book. Finishing a book is easier when other people are counting on you to show up having read it. The Joy Ride Book Club is a safe space online where your student is part of a group that meets every week, discusses what they read, and builds the kind of peer connection around literature that most students have never experienced. The Joy Ride Book Club builds a genuine love for reading without the pressure of being graded. You child reads a set amount of pages before each session, they reflect on their reading by responding to critical thinking questions, and they show up once a week, live,and ready to discuss their observations of the text.
