Weekly Graphic Novel Book Clubs

Turn their love for graphic novels into a fun, educational experience in my online weekly graphic novel book clubs.

Our small group book club is fun, relaxed, and a sneaky way to turn their favorite writing format into an educational experience.

Each week, we discuss a different graphic novel, and learners share their opinions on various story elements and how the graphics support the storytelling.

It’s a relaxed and fun way to learn various elements of literature and media literacy.

I’d love to have your children join me!
