Check out our virtual do-it-at-home book clubs! The best part? Everyone who participates gets to keep the book!

There are four age categories: grades K-3, grades 3-5, grades 5-8, and grades 9-12. There’s some overlap so you can choose which book you’d prefer to read. Every book comes with links to explore, a blank review form, a few questions, and some activities. Each book will have a post on www.splyouth.org for anyone who wants to discuss the book or comment on any of the questions or activities.
