A “whole class reading” text is a text selection that is read by all students in the class. A discussion about the text is facilitated by the teacher. (Note: Parents have the option to ask the teacher to provide an alternate text for their student per GCISD Board Policy: EF(LOCAL)). 

A “book club” is when students select a book from a list of district-approved titles and then form groups during class to discuss their selected book. The teacher rotates between groups to facilitate discussion.
