reading groups

Discussion-based book clubs

Reading groups are small gatherings where people meet regularly to discuss books they've read together.

In educational settings, reading groups organize students by ability level for instruction, though this practice has become controversial.

Adult reading groups, often called book clubs, typically meet monthly to socialize and share interpretations of a chosen title.

Our reading group is tackling War and Peace this summer.
