Children's Book Clubs
My Book Clubs are a wonderful opportunity to encourage reading for pleasure and improve comprehension, inference, reasoning and creative writing skills ready for the 11+ and beyond.
The classes also allow children to engage in positive discussion and debate in a forum where they feel that their opinions really matter.
I am currently running Book Clubs for children in Years 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Class sizes are limited to 6 students. Each course is 12 weeks long and we study 4 novels of varying genres and complexity.

What people are saying....
'His reading has noticeably improved, his vocabulary has broadened and it has been great reading books we would not necessarily have chosen. I am planning to try and keep this going! You've really captured his imagination and brought the books to life for him in the sessions and he always looked forward to coming.'

'We would have no hesitation in recommending Tanuja and her 11+ Book Club. It has really helped our son’s progression this year, both in preparation for his 11+ Exam, as well as with his wider academic and most notably English comprehension skills. Tanuja also introduced him to some brilliant new books and authors which took him outside of his comfort zone in terms of the normal genres and settings of the books that he would naturally gravitate towards. Thanks Tanuja for all your amazing support.'

'My daughter has absolutely loved coming to book club this year. It’s easy for quality shared reading time to take a back seat with busy lives and clubs getting in the way, especially as KS2 children develop in their reading independence. This club has brought reading back into focus for her and reignited her love of quality books. It’s also been lovely for me, as a teacher, to see her discussing the book with her friends with such enthusiasm. As a family, it has opened us up to a world of authors and genres that we wouldn’t have thought of. We will definitely be back for more with her siblings!'
