Book Club
Book Club introduces reading as an interactive, social experience. Students meet weekly to read, discuss, express their opinions and explore the book through activities that supplement and expand reading practice. Movie and play scripts are popular choices because they allow for high engagement with the text.
Book Club encourages members as they continue to develop comprehension and communication skills. It also serves as an opportunity for developing social relationships with others who love good stories.
This is a free program for DSL members 16+
