Jabberwocky believes that reading, both solitary and communal, has an impact on who we are and how we interact with the world. No matter the students’ ages, or whether they’re in a small group setting or a large seminar discussion, conversations about books tend to turn into conversations about being human.
Following are key point in it comes to Jabberwocky Bookclub:

1. Begin with an icebreaker

One gift of online reading groups is that often the students don’t know everyone in the group. Without peer pressure, many students gain confidence and participate freely.

2. Joy of Reading

We bring forth the ease and joy in the practice of reading. We want to show the children the exact magic that resides within the pages of the Book. We don't want them to feel that this is a task or something like homework. The idea is to make them look forward to reading.

3. Ask text-to-self questions

Reading with a teacher and other students enhances students’ understanding of the story—and also their own experiences. As we ask questions about the story, we ask questions about ourselves, and ideally this self-reflection leads to self-discovery.
With that in mind,we encourage intentional text-to-self connections by asking questions as to “which character you like the most” , “What are you learning from the story?” etc.

4.Participation is encouraged

We work hard to both ensure that everyone participates and acknowledge that participation can take many different forms. Intentionally creating space for each student is paramount.

The last class of every month is the Book review day. We meet and casually discuss the books read and how they liked it. The plot, setting , characters and story line are discussed and some pertinent questions are volleyed . The author's writing style and his past books are all part of the discussion . We then move on to recommend and rate the books.

The aim of Jabberwocky Book Club is to promote a love of literature in a positive, supportive environment. Of course, the online learning space is different from the classroom, but with the right approach, we use stories, puzzles, discussions and games to cultivate connections and empathy.
