242: Building Better Book Clubs, with Martina Cahill

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Today on the podcast, we’re sitting down with Martina Cahill, who goes by The Hungry Teacher online. One of her great gifts is helping middle school ELA teachers rock it with choice reading and book clubs, though I believe a lot of what she teaches can easily apply to high school too, especially when it comes to cultivating a culture of reading, trying out different forms of book clubs, and rolling out book tastings that make an impact. </p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><em>If you’ve ever wondered what you can do in advance to help make your book club unit a success, you’re going to find some really helpful ideas in this conversation. </em></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Helpful Links: </strong></span></p> <p>Ready to jump into book clubs, but need a bit more information?
