LiteratureCircles.com is back!

Thanks for visiting the new and improved LiteratureCircles.com, a web resource for educators interested in student-led book discussion groups. Our goal is to support conversation and idea-sharing among people who are exploring this important "best practice" strategy.

We feature book recommendations, classroom management ideas, links to related sites and organizations, news of relevant publications and events -- a free, personal advice from veteran literature circle teachers from Chicago's Center for City Schools.

This website is sponsored by the Walloon Institute, a summer retreat for educators where Lit Circles and other progressive practices are shared, and by Stenhouse, the publisher of Literature Circles: Voice and Choice in the Student-Centered Classroom (2002) by Harvey Daniels.
