Welcome to Book Clubs 4 Kids!

Book Clubs 4 Kids originated in 2020 during initial COVID school-closures. As an elementary educator, mom, and proactive personality, I designed this program as a way for my daughters to continue reading and provide opportunities to socially interact in-person with their friends while encouraging a lifelong love for learning.  As life resumed to “normal,” our fundamental pillars remained the same and book clubs continue to thrive.

  • Instill a lifelong Love for reading

  • Expose kids to a variety of life experiences

  • Empower kids to discuss heavy topics

  • Foster fun, social interactions

  • Build literacy skills

  • Strengthen community

  • Support a cause through FUNdraising

Book Clubs 4 Kids aims to…

  • "BC4K goes above and beyond individual reading development. It’s a unique opportunity that combines personal reading growth with compassionate community through a shared reading experience. Wendy’s worldly selection of books, her dedicated approach, and her active conversations with her students have been exceptional"

    - Samar, BC4K member’s mom

  • "My daughter has been a part of Wendy’s Book Clubs 4 Kids for the past 3 years. During this time she has become a ferocious reader. Reading is now her favorite subject in school."

    - Heather, BC4K member’s mom

  • "Wendy curates a diverse collection of books with thoughtful activities to help kids grow as readers, friends, and all around good humans. Exploring different genres and subjects, my 4th grader’s love for reading has never been stronger and I know we have Wendy and this community to thank!"

    -Christie, BC4K member’s mom

  • "Book Clubs 4 Kids exposes my child to subject matter and material they may not encounter in school, while instilling empathy and compassion. Moreover, the kids have a blast and look forward to meetings!"

    Dan, BC4K member’s dad

  • "Wendy’s worldly selection of books, her dedicated approach, and her active conversations with her students have been exceptional. My daughter looks forward to each meeting where she partakes in engaging conversations that encourage articulation of thoughts and concise summarization of book themes, in turn strengthening her public speaking development and boosting her confidence."

    - Samar, BC4K member’s mom

  • "Watching my daughter, who previously struggled with reading, now loving it, has inspired me to start a book club for my youngest daughter and her friends. Wendy has graciously helped me get their club up and running by lending me her ideas and plans. We have been going now for almost one year."
