“During the pandemic, we devised a book club to do “deep dives” into several books in parallel with the materials assigned by the school.  This was incredibly rewarding for both of our sons (2nd & 4th graders) and showcased the opportunity to really develop ideas and concepts more profoundly than is traditionally possible.  Ms. Herzog’s model was adaptable to different grade levels (both children reading the same book but at different levels) and was scalable to include multiple other students (as would be expected in a classroom).  The children absolutely loved this time and, as a parent, I can see that her lessons transcended the immediate material to other areas of their education.”

“Amy's enthusiasm and care for her students shines through, even on a zoom book club! My daughter & I enjoyed the experience so much. The book we read, Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, was very engaging and Amy let all of us take turns reading aloud, if we wanted to. She'd often pause to discuss words the kids might not know meanings of and to dive deeper into what the characters were going through and perhaps feeling. It was enlightening to hear how her students related to the story. Amy gently encourages everyone's expression and responds with enthusiasm and kindness. By the end of the book we were all ready for the next one. I would definitely recommend book club with Amy!”
