Ready to read, analyze, discuss, and write in 2026! Creative ELA Book Clubs invite students to do it all! Members have voted for 2026 reads! Here are the first six titles we’ll be reading, discussing, and writing about in 2026!
Want a novel study to go along with each book club read!
You’ll soon be able to purchase them in my shop OR join Creative ELA’s Membership to get them all (plus 23 others) free.
*Please note- novel studies are released the month before each book club meets*
