They meet on Mondays at lunch.
They remove their earphones, hide their smartphones and communicate without the help of electronic devices (设备).
They are the coolest kids at Mendez High School in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. They are the Reading Club.
“This is truly the biggest club in the school,” said English teacher Rebecca Carriaga, who formed the group last year with librarian Kim Leng. The two of them have often reached into their own pockets to feed the book-reading fever of students, and the club now has 20 members and keeps growing.
Five years ago, English teacher Rebecca said it seemed that some students, many of whom had not been exposed to (接触) reading at home, were unwilling to read because they thought books were too difficult. So she tried to make them feel more relaxed by giving them books to read and then, rather than pass out written exams, she sat with each student to “interview” them about their impressions one-to-one.
“I'd ask different questions and let them talk,” said Rebecca. “Then I noticed them recommending (推荐) books to each other.”
She and her partner, Kim, knew they had to make use of that enthusiasm (热情) and then the club was set up. At first, the club talked about whatever book someone might be reading, but then came “Into the Beautiful North (by Luis Urrea),” the first book that all club members are reading and discussing together.
Dana Tsuruta, a third-year student, said she's enjoying the book so far. “The author puts a little humour into it and he puts a little bit of Spanish into it, too. I don't know much Spanish, but I'm curious,” she said.
“This book is just interesting,” said another student Moanni Leos. Moanni said now she doesn't go anywhere without a book. 24. What do we know about the Reading Club? A. It is the biggest club in Los Angeles.
