Read a book, share a book, discuss a book and do a craft or play a game about the book.  That is what we do in the Easy Reader Book Club.  We start with easy books and build to a higher level giving children read aloud practice and building comprehension.  For 5-6 year olds.  The current book we are reading is at the checkout desk one week before the club meets.
