Read with Ms. Mary
WelcomeHi, I'm Mary
I've spent the last six years organizing and leading online book clubs, and I love discussing books!
I love creating a fun and relaxed space where kids can share their opinions, learn literary elements, and be inspired to read great books.
I have a BS in Elementary Education from Towson University and have been homeschooling for over 18 years.
After facilitating online book clubs for Brave Writer for two years, I decided to create small-group, live book clubs on Outschool.
I live in North Carolina with my husband, two of my four kids, and our dog, Lafayette — named, of course, for our family's total devotion to Hamilton.
I’d love to meet your child in one of my book clubs!

I've taken all of the mystery out of using graphic novels in your homeschool.
That's right! I am convinced that graphic novels can be part of any homeschool program. Not only do graphic novels engage the reader, but they can be used as a tool to teach literature as well as visual literacy.
This Graphic Novel Discussion Pack includes complete guides for five graphic novels:
Measuring Up by Lily LaMotte
Clash by Kayla Miller
Sort of Super by Eric Gapstur
Glitch by Sarah Graley
Dragonet Prophecy (Graphic Novel) by Tui T. Sutherland
NOTE: Books are NOT included, but are required to effectively use this guide.
These graphic novels are written for ages 8-12, but can be easily used with older or younger children.
Each of the 5 guides in this pack includes:
- 2 Icebreaker Questions (one for literature and one for graphics)
- 4 literature discussion questions
- 6 visual literacy questions exploring how the graphics support the story-telling
- a fun extension activity
The pack also includes a graphic novel writing activity with printable pages of various layouts.
The Tween Graphic Novel Discussion pack is designed for ease of use. It is helpful for parents who are unfamiliar with graphic novels as well as parents who read them regularly with their kids. You'll find suggested answers for all of the questions so you won't be left wondering about the answer.
What are you waiting for? Dive into graphic novels and engage your learner in literature study today!
