Reader, Come Home by Maryanne Wolf

Years ago, Maryanne Wolf published a book about how the brain is rewired by reading and how reading makes us who we are.

Now, she's turning that expertise and research to the state of the reading mind today – and she has concerns.

What is the shallowness and constant flow of digital information doing to the way our brains work? Can we reclaim some of who we used to be as readers? Are we off on a new course for what it means to be human?

Let's talk (and read) it out!

How Live Book Club Classes Work

Participation in the live book club includes access to a set of resources and activities as well as interactive components.

Participants receive

• PDF reading guides with comprehension questions
• Vocabulary/reading activities
• Discussion board posts in our online classroom
• Writing/multimodal project prompts related to the reading
• An invitation to a live discussion
• A recording of the summary of the live discussion
• An optional feedback add-on for the final paper/project
• Rubrics for at-home feedback

Families are welcome to use as much or as little of the suggested resources and activities as they'd like to fit their interest and schedules.

(There will be an option to add a Feedback Add-On at checkout.)
