How to do it
Choose a book with a friend or sibling — either read it together, take turns with the same copy, or each read your own. When you're both done, sit down for the "book club" bit.
Use the book review sheet as a conversation starter. What did they like? What would they change? Did they like the ending? Would they recommend it? There are no wrong opinions — you're just getting used to the idea that books are worth talking about.
Keep it short and relaxed. Ten minutes of genuine conversation beats an hour of answering comprehension questions. The goal is enthusiasm, not analysis.
