6-week book club exploring Inkbound: Meticulous Jones and the Skull Tattoo by Philippa Leathley
Service Description
A calm, supportive small-group book club designed to help older readers build confidence, deepen their understanding and enjoy discussing books with others. Over six weeks, we'll explore Inkbound: Meticulous Jones and the Skull Tattoo by Philippa Leathley together; discussing the story, sharing interpretations, making predictions and exploring the characters, mysteries and ideas within the novel. What happens each week? Each live session is led by me, Tania, a qualified teacher (QTS), and focuses on thoughtful discussion, interpretation and creative thinking. Children will: discuss characters, events and motivations make predictions and use evidence from the story to support their ideas explore interesting vocabulary and author choices consider different interpretations of characters and events share opinions and respond to the ideas of other readers take part in occasional creative activities inspired by the story A confidence-first approach There are no tests and no pressure to perform. Children are encouraged to contribute but will never be put on the spot. The aim is to create a relaxed environment where readers feel comfortable expressing their ideas, asking questions and developing confidence when talking about books. Why small groups? With a maximum of six children, everyone has the opportunity to contribute while still experiencing the benefits of reading as part of a group. Children can hear different perspectives, develop their own ideas and enjoy being part of a friendly reading community.
