Welcome to Columbus Reading Academy for Children.

We host Book Clubs and Reading Classes.


Book Clubs:-

  • Columbus Book Clubs source and select books for children ranging in age from four to thirteen years of age.
  • We consult with a range of people when choosing books for each group.
  • All books are supplied by Columbus Club.
  • We meet each week to read and review children's books.
  • We focus on ensuring that every child understands what s/he reads.
  • We welcome children of all reading levels to our Book Clubs.
  • The reluctant reader is given time and encouragement.   The teacher works closely with this reader.
  • The very good reader is challenged in terms of the range of books read and discussed.

Some comments from parents on their children's reading habits since joining Columbus Book Clubs:-

  • Enjoys reading books and no longer finds them boring?
  • Wants to talk about the books s/he is reading?
  • Felt inspired by an author he met at the Book Club?

Columbus Club develops, enhances and nurtures each child's interest in reading and in books. For full details on our Book Clubs and how they will benefit your child, please Click Here.

Reading Classes:-

Reading Classes are designed for children who:

  • need assistance in mastering the skill of reading.
  • become easily frustrated when reading.
  • find that many of the words on the page are just too difficult to “sound out” and decipher.
  • need to extend their vocabulary.
  • need to develop confidence in reading.

Do you believe your child's reading level needs to improve? If so, Columbus Reading Academy can make the difference for your child.

Our Reading Classes teach children of all ages to read with ease and confidence.  Our ratio of teacher to child is 1: 4 and in some groups 1:2
