What IS a Family Online Book Club?
Family online book clubs are Teachable courses that guide your student through reading novels while adding optional grammar, spelling, and writing. Each book club is made up of 8 parts that are designed to be a month-long literature study. They are designed for students ages upper elementary through high school. Click on any of the pictures below to see the different elements of each book club and how easily you can add adventure to your literature studies.
Rabbit Trails
Several per Lesson
We will go on rabbit trails of discovery. We will hop off the traditional roads of literature studies and meander down paths about pop-culture, history, biographies, poetry, music and more. We will take deep dives into some of the subjects touched on in the book and broaden our minds with new adventures.
Magic Dust
Several per Course
We will also bring literature to life by sprinkling a bit of magic dust along the way. These hands-on projects will take us into the book through science, art, games and more. We will touch, see, feel and learn about the book through the activities.
Vocabulary & Grammar
One per Lesson
Every Family Online Book Club includes the chance to learn spelling and grammar through copywork and dictation. We will also discuss literary elements found in the book and use our new knowledge for a writing project.
Party Time!!
One Per Course
The pinnacle of the Family Online Book Club experience is the Party School! At the end of each literature study, we will celebrate the novel with a party. Invite friends or family over for food and fun! All the ideas for food, decorations, and activities are included.
“They offer solid content in an interesting format that is very easy to use.
“I particularly like the way these Online Book Club studies take advantage of internet resources to enhance the study of novels while also adding activities for family involvement. The inclusion of spelling, grammar, vocabulary, literary analysis, and composition work means that studies can cover a significant part of a student’s language arts coursework for middle school students, although they will need additional instruction in grammar and composition. If you are more narrowly focused on using these studies primarily for coverage of literature, they offer solid content in an interesting format that is very easy to use."

Hi, I’m Dachelle. I’m a homeschooling mom of 3 in the South. I love chocolate and have been known to hide it from my children. I can often be found reading a good book (or even sometimes just an okay book) and enjoying a jar of Nutella — don’t judge. I blog, here, at HideTheChocolate.com when I’m not creating book clubs and making lists…lots and lots of lists (it’s an addiction). Learn more…
