Readers and aspiring readers are invited to join us online to read, listen, and discuss adapted versions of classic short stories and novels. Registration required.

Open Your World Online Book Clubs are for readers and aspiring readers to continue building their literacy skills by reading and discussing stories together. We use adapted novels and age-appropriate short stories. Visuals and other built-in supports are provided to increase fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary.

The ability to read is not a requirement for this book club. Participants will be assisted in reading if they wish, or they may listen instead and join in the discussion following the reading time. The text of the book is provided by screen sharing, so there is no need to obtain a physical book.

In this session, we are reading King Tut's Tomb. This book tells the story of how the lost tomb was discovered a hundred years ago.

You can register for this session or any of the other Open Your World Book club sessions using this form.
