Just some of our amazing Google reviews
My 8 year old is not keen in doing homework or reading books. But he really enjoyed having sessions with Lizzi. He read book and highlighted interesting bits to discuss with her and looked forward to each class. I think he will be part of this great club till secondary school. Can't thank enough for engaging and fun reading sessions. His communication skills have developed too.
The book club has definitely helped my two younger children. My youngest started first term in Year 1 and he is such a confident reading now and still has the rest of year 1. It is amazing! My middle child struggled with reading and has improved so much now! I would definitely recommend Book Club Buddies.
We keep re booking Book Club buddies as my daughter loves it so much. Such a relaxed and enjoyable club. Lizzy knows how to make all the children participate and get the most out of reading together
I have seen such a tremendous improvement in my daughter’s reading and she also seems to be so interested in reading after just one book club. We will continue with several other lovely book clubs in the coming months. You are amazing Lizzy, I’m so glad you have started Book Club Buddies to help struggling parents get their kids into reading independently.Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I highly recommend Lizzy’s book club as it really helped my son to develop a passion for reading. The friendly and supportive atmosphere during the sessions allowed him to build confidence not only in answering questions but also in sharing his own views. Thanks a million, Lizzy, for your great support and for sharing your true love for reading!
As a parent that has always had to nag her daughter to read, I was thrilled to learn about Book Club Buddies. It is such a brilliant concept! Lizzy chooses fabulous books that are engaging and ensures that the sessions are fun and interactive, which makes my daughter want to read and join in. She enjoyed it so much that she couldn't wait to participate in a second book club and will most definitely be signing up for a third!
The Book club buddies came to my attention as I wanted to get my son intrested in reading. He really enjoyed the book and he found it very entertaining. Lizzy is a very proffessional and experienced teacher and the session are very organised and made fun for children.I already signed him up for the next book club.
Our 10 year old loved her weekly book sessions.Knowing that she is was actually reading a whole book was the one brilliant reason we signed her up.Given her focus and a good start for the week.Bring on January, for the next book.
My 9 year old really enjoyed the whole process and Lizzie facilitated a very lovely group that was both fun and educational 🙂
My 11 year old daughter really loved attending book club buddies with Lizzie. In fact I have never seen her so enthusiastic about finishing a book. I would highly recommend it for any child, both those that love reading and want to share their enjoyment of books and those like my daughter who are perhaps a little more reticent to read. I will definitely be signing up for the next book and I am also encouraging her little brother to join too. Such a great concept.
