We always open my tween/ young teen book club with a thumbs up / thumbs down show of hands. It’s a light hearted way to get a quick idea of how popular the book was and the children have fun angling their thumbs if they want to give half marks!
This is a gentle opening question. We work round the group so everyone gets a chance to speak. It gives even our quieter members a way to join the discussion, and there’s no problem if you can only think of two words or someone has picked the words you wanted to say.
This introduces the idea of a book having a setting(s) and might also lead you into mentioning which genre the book is. Have you read any other books with a similar setting?

This invites your children to extend the storyline themselves. They can use what they’ve understood about the characters and storyline and add their own twist.
This question encourages us to always be open to new ideas. Books are wonderful at introducing us to new places and experiences. Perhaps you have learned a new fact about a country or culture different to where you are or perhaps you have understood someone else’s feelings, putting yourself in their shoes.
This extends our book discussion into literacy criticism. A simple way to explain ‘theme’ to children is to say theme means the message that the book shares with us. It’s not the storyline and what happens in the book (which is made up of the characters and the plot), but the meaning, the central message of a book. Sometimes a theme will be the mor...
