Keith Valley Middle School Library: Project LIT

We are a national, grassroots LITeracy movement, a network of dedicated teachers and students who are committed to increasing access to culturally relevant books and promoting a love of reading in our schools and communities. We work together to:

• Empower students as READERS and LEADERS in their school and community.
• Host monthly or quarterly Project LIT Book Clubs.
• Flood our schools and communities with high-quality, culturally relevant books.
• Champion & celebrate reading daily.
• Inspire and support one another through sharing of lesson plans, resources, strategies, and book recommendations.
• Create opportunities for students to connect with peers around the country.
• Advocate for policies & practices that will help our students become lifelong leaders.

Who is this club for?

We encourage students, families, and school staff to read and celebrate books together.  The celebration includes a discussion of the middle grade novel and a fun activity.

What will each meeting look like?

• Sign in/Welcome
• News & Information
• Small group discussions & share time
• Trivia/Game/Activity
• Introduce next month's book

Club members vote for the books we read during our meetings. If you are unable/not interested in joining for a specific month's book, that is okay! You can pick and choose!
