    The reading circle is an exciting new approach that could enhance your
    reading group meetings. Originally designed for English language learners,
    the model can be applied to any reading group who wants to get creative
    with their approach.
    The model breaks down the group into five specific roles, which have been
    designed to replicate the whole reading process, exploring different
    elements of the book and helping to stimulate discussion.
    If there are more than five people in your group, it’s not a problem – these
    roles can easily be shared between people or passed on after every chapter.
    The roles should be given out ahead of reading the book and members are
    encouraged to take on a different role each week, in order to experience
    the book from a variety of perspectives.
    During the meeting, each member shares their ideas with the group to
    open up wider and more detailed discussion.
    The roles are as follows:
    “The Leader” – facilitates the discussion, preparing some general questions
    and ensuring that everyone is involved and engaged.
    “The Summariser” – gives an outline of the plot, highlighting the key
    moments in the book. More confident readers can touch upon its strengths
    and weaknesses.
    “The Word Master” – selects vocabulary that may be new, unusual, or used
    in an interesting way.
    “The Passage Person” – selects and presents a passage that they feel is well
    written, challenging, or of particular interest to the development of the
    plot, character, or theme.
    “The Connector” – draws upon all of the above and makes links between
    the story and wider world. This can be absolutely anything; books, films,
    newspaper articles, a photograph, a memory, or even a personal
    experience, it’s up to you. All it should do is highlight any similarities or
    differences and explain how it has brought about any changes in your
    understanding and perception of the book.
