Fables Club, Readers’ Hub
Online interactive Readers Club nurturing curiosity and confidence, guiding children to enjoy books, share stories, and develop a lifelong love for reading.
Discover the Joy of Reading
Fable Club is an online readers’ club that inspires a love of books. In small, guided groups over 6 weeks, children explore, discuss, and enjoy complete stories. Fun, informal, and free from worksheets, our safe, supportive space helps kids read for pleasure, share ideas, and build confidence while growing as young readers.
Get Started
Children choose a book from our website and join a small club of up to 8 members. They receive their own copy of the book by post and, over 6 weeks, read together while taking part in fun, engaging discussions during a weekly online Zoom meeting.
Our Reading Journey
Fable Club sessions last 45 minutes, during which children read chapters, discuss the plot, characters, and vocabulary, and can read aloud if they wish. Using their own books—not screens—kids enjoy a fun, interactive, and engaging reading experience that builds confidence and fosters a lifelong love of stories.
Nurtured by Expert Teachers
A teacher will support and guide the discussions, adapting their role to the needs of each group to ensure sessions are both engaging and challenging. They will ask questions, encourage conversation, and give children the freedom to share their own ideas.
Onward & Upward
After each Zoom session, children read a few chapters on their own and can make notes as they go. Each meeting begins with a discussion and answers to questions. If a child hasn’t finished, the next session starts with a short summary so everyone stays on track and engaged.
