Jumping into Literacy Clubs

Kids around the world need reading clubs. Many kids who need them are struggling to read on grade level. Clubs could also help kids with disabilities, like dyslexia, for example. In the book Thank You Mr. Faulkner, character Trisha, joins a reading club so she can read better. Reading clubs can also be for adults who are struggling to read. Whether it's after school, on Saturdays, or during the summer, we always need more reading clubs. 

I've seen my younger brother, who is in the 2nd grade, struggle with words and reading. If a reading club was available, he, and other students, could join so they can improve their reading skills.  

I think reading clubs should be for all ages and people. Reading clubs can help anyone become a better reader and it can even help kids who want to start reading early. We are in dire need of reading clubs all over the world.
