Reading is an individual activity but if it evoked strong feelings in you, it is only natural that you would like to talk about it, possibly with somebody who has read the same book to see if they share your opinion or not.  

A Reader’s club gives you an opportunity to talk about your reading experiences rather than the book itself; how the book made you feel- whether you absolutely loved/hated the book and why. The readers’ clubs help to inspire young people to read and broaden their world outlook and to give them opportunity to express themselves.

If you want to start your own group there is a Facilitator’s Guide and Training video developed by the BC team that will help you. To access training materials, please contact emine.belyalova@britishcouncil.org

If you want to communicate with readers from different parts of the world, please join the British Council’s Central and South Asian regional readers’ network. For more details please visit: www.developreading.com
