Want to Start a Reading Club? Here’s How We Help You Launch in 2 Weeks

In bilingual programs, one of the biggest challenges is giving kids enough consistent, meaningful exposure to English. That’s where reading clubs shine.

Reading clubs aren’t just “extra classes” — they are language accelerators. They build fluency, confidence, and most importantly — a love of English.

Why Reading Clubs Are So Important:

• Bilingual kids often have limited time in English environments

• Reading clubs give them a dedicated space to hear, speak, and think in English

• Repeated exposure to stories builds vocabulary, phonics awareness, and comprehension

• They boost soft skills too: listening, turn-taking, confidence in group settings

• And it helps your school create your own extra classes instead of watching students join another reading institution.

In my own experience, schools that ran weekly reading clubs saw better language production, stronger parent engagement, and smoother KET preparation.

When to Start:

• Age 5–6 (K2–K3) is ideal — children already know some phonics and love stories

• Earlier is possible too — with picture walks, sound awareness, and parent-child sessions

• Grade 1–3 learners benefit from structured reading and response tasks

What We Include:

• Level-appropriate storybooks (RAZ, Oxford Reading Tree or CEFR-aligned)

• Training for your teachers on how to run sessions (not just reading, but guiding interaction)

• Ready-made session plans with warm-ups, reading strategies, and post-reading games

• Parent communication templates so families understand what’s happening and how to help

Activities that Work:

• Before reading: Predict the story from the cover, act out a word in the title

• During: Stop to ask questions — “Why do you think he did that?”

• After: Draw your favorite part, retell the story using stick puppets, find all the /s/ sounds

How to Keep It Going:

• Set a consistent weekly time — routine = retention

• Track participation and reward commitment (certificates, stickers, small prizes)

• Share progress with parents monthly — keep them involved

• Link reading club themes to your classroom curriculum (e.g., if learning about food, read The Very Hungry Caterpillar)

With our system, we’ve helped schools launch in just 2 weeks — from materials to training to scheduling.

And the best part? It doesn’t just help kids. It helps your school stand out.
