Open Your World Online Book Club: For Adults and Teens with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

*** Please note that all of the book clubs meet exclusively online.

Open Your World Online Book Clubs are for readers and aspiring readers to continue building their literacy skills by reading and discussing stories together. We use adapted novels and short stories that are age-appropriate. Visuals and other built-in supports are provided to increase fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary.

The ability to read is not a requirement for this book club. Participants will be assisted in reading if they wish, or may listen instead, and join in the discussion following the reading time. The text of the book is provided by screen sharing, so there is no need to obtain a physical book.

Space is limited. When your registration is confirmed, you will receive an email providing the Zoom sign in information for our virtual meetings.
