Great Books. Shared Stories. Lifelong Readers.

The main aim of Reading Club is to help children develop a genuine love of reading.

Join the Reading Club waitlist by entering your email address in the form on this page.

When enrolments open, I will send through registration information, session times, and a registration form for families to complete.

Invoices are sent after the first week’s session. Families can choose weekly or term payment options.

Families are welcome to begin with confidence. If after the first session you feel the group is not the right fit for your child, simply let me know and you will not be charged for the remainder of the term.

From the second session onward, enrolment is considered a commitment for the remainder of the term, as places are limited and your child’s position in the group is reserved.

Yes — each child will need access to the book being read in their group.

Most families choose a physical copy, though eBooks are also welcome.

No. Students read the book together during sessions and discover the story as a group along the way. They may have a chapter or so to read between sessions.

Not at all.

Children can participate in the way that feels most comfortable for them — reading aloud, listening, sharing ideas verbally, using the chat, or simply following along.

There is no pressure to participate in a particular way.

Yes. Many children join Reading Club because they need a calmer, more supportive way to engage with books.

The focus is on helping children feel comfortable, connected, and confident around reading.

Reading Club is designed to build a love of reading through shared stories and discussion.

While children naturally strengthen comprehension, vocabulary, confidence, and communication skills during sessions, the primary focus is enjoyment and connection — not formal tutoring or test preparation.

Groups are intentionally kept small, with a maximum of 10 students per session.

This helps create a calm, inclusive environment where every child feels seen and supported.

Groups are organised by broad stages of schooling rather than strict age ranges.

Lower Primary — usually Years 1–2

Middle Primary — usually Years 3–4

Upper Primary — usually Years 5–6

High School — usually Years 7–9

These year levels are intended as a guide only. Some children may feel more comfortable, confident, or engaged in a different group depending on their reading stage, interests, or confidence levels.

All sessions are held live online via Zoom.

Families will receive the Zoom link and session information before the term begins.

Absolutely. Families join Reading Club from across Australia.

Session times are listed in Queensland time (AEST).

Yes — siblings are very welcome if the group is suitable for both children.

As places are limited, each child requires their own enrolment.

Reading Club is designed to be inclusive and supportive of diverse learners.

I am an experienced teacher and teacher librarian who has worked with children of varying abilities, learning needs, and confidence levels across a range of educational settings.

If your child has additional needs such as ADHD, dyslexia, autism, anxiety, or other learning differences, please include this information during registration so I can best support them during sessions.

That’s not a problem at all.

I keep track of the group’s reading progress so families can easily catch up before the next session.

If I am ever unable to run a session, families will be notified as soon as possible.

Where appropriate, a qualified relief teacher may take the session. If this is not possible, a make-up session, credit, or refund will be provided.
