Yes, our middle school also wants to use more student-led book discussions. I would love to hear ideas! 

Has anyone had a chance to create a Padlet for the 2024 Nutmeg Nominees for Intermediate and Middle School? I sincerely appreciate you sharing if it's not too much to ask.  I see some sharing on the Nutmeg site from past years. Thank you!

Hi Folks,
We'd like to incorporate more student-led book talks this year, but oftentimes, only a few kids in a class have read a small selection of books, so the discussions are limited.  How do you arrange student-led discussions when kids haven't read the books?  While I am familiar with Book Tastings, I'd love to hear what else people are doing.  Thank you for your shared wisdom!!!

Have a great start to the school year.

Best wishes,
Cheryl
