About the Event

Story Bites Reads is a weekly book group for children aged between 8 and 12 years (school years 4 - 8), who love to read. By nature this club is for children who are interested in discussion based activities to explore the ideas that arise from their reading. Although we use games and activities to prompt discussion and develop ideas it can be a challenging group.

Meeting weekly, we grow and share our ideas, develop confidence in our opinions and work both together and individually in an unpressurised way to have fun with the books we read and think about them critically. All of the books we read are supplied and are mostly new titles that have been carefully chosen to provide a basis for challenging discussion.

On average we start a new book every 2 – 3 weeks. Books read over the last year have included The Wild Robot, The Ethan I was Before, The Secrets of the Blue Glass, The Switching Hour, The 1000 Year Old Boy, Malamander and The International Yeti Collective.

Story Bites Reads costs £7.50 per week paid half termly in advance. Spaces are limitied, for availability and this term’s dates and fees please contact us in store or email us at stories@jacqsondiego.com
