Words have power, and Frost and his friends are about to learn that lesson very well.
When cell phones are banned in their middle school, they start using sticky notes to communicate.
Soon, the power of words to build up or take down has become clear, and Frost is feeling the pressure to take sides.
Content Notes: This book positively explores social pressures and how to navigate them with kindness. Along the way, students will see some bullying in the form of insults and name-calling. One character is coded as gender nonconforming (though that label is not specifically used), and that difference is a source of teasing and mistreatment.
How These Live Book Clubs Work
Participation in the live book club includes access to a set of resources and activities as well as interactive components.
Participants receive
- A suggested reading schedule
- 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 is an option to add a Feedback Add-on for Final Projects at checkout.)
Ages:
9 - 13
Dates:
May 1-31, 2026
Live Meeting:
Monday, June 1, 2026 at 1pm Eastern
Sessions typically last around 1 hour.
Those who cannot attend the live session will receive a recorded summary.
(Note: If there is high enrollment, additional live sessions may be opened to keep sessions small enough for meaningful discussion.)
Supplies:
- A copy of the book Posted (ISBN 9780062338211)
- Used and borrowed copies will work just fine! If your learner is going to participate in final projects and reading guides, I recommend having a physical copy even if they primarily read the audiobook.
