Tutors: are you looking for a way to help your learner discover the pleasures of reading and to encourage him/her to read more away from your tutoring sessions? If so, talk with your learner about joining the Wednesday Night Readers Book Club... and you can join, too!
Members of the book club receive FREE copies of the selected book and adult learners can also pick up a FREE unabridged audio book. Then on the last Wednesday evening of the each month, we all come together for a friendly and engaging book discussion. The discussions are facilitated by two longtime Project Read volunteers who are talented at creating a nurturing and non-threatening environment for the free expression of ideas. It’s a great experience for both learners and their tutors.
Here is a list of books which we will be reading and discussing over the next few months:
March 28 meeting — The Bridge at San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder
(book available on or after Feb. 28)
April 25 meeting — Island of the Blue Dolphin by Scott O’Dell
(book available on or after March 28)
May 30 meeting — Teacher Man by Frank McCourt
(book available on or after April 25)
June 27 meeting — The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
(book available on or after May 30)
Feel free to call the Project Read office (415-557-4388) for more information. We look forward to seeing you there!
