Book Clubs vs. Literature Circles
The terms “Book Clubs” and “Literature Circles” can be used interchangeably. Personally, when I think of Book Clubs, I think of something a little less structured with more free-flowing conversations, opinions and questions about the reading each week. Literature Circles tend to be more structured because there are specific roles provided to students every week that help lead the discussion.

Literature Circles: Getting Started
Literature circles are a strong classroom strategy because of the way that they couple collaborative learning with student-centered inquiry. As they conclude their description of the use of literature circles in a bilingual classroom, Peralta-Nash and Dutch explain the ways that the strategy helped students become stronger readers:
Students learned to take responsibility for their own learning, and this was reflected in how effectively they made choices and took ownership of literature circle groups. They took charge of their own discussions, held each other accountable for how much or how little reading to do, and for the preparation for each session. The positive peer pressure that the members of each group placed on each other contributed to each student's accountability to the rest of the group. (36)
When students engage with texts and one another in these ways, they take control of their literacy in positive and rewarding ways.
