Book groups are gatherings of readers who aspire to remain lifelong learners. Educators who read and enjoy quality fiction and non-fiction contribute with confidence to the rich, literate environment of classrooms. The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) expresses, through rich policy statements and other published works, the vital nature of professional learning for literacy educators and the essential role of reading as part of our daily and professional lives. The guidance presented in this position statement offers insight and strong practice on forming book groups among literacy educators.
