Great Reading Materials
Using the materials makes it easy to be part of a group. Women who consistently use the materials tell us they have a richer experience of Well-Read Mom and are more connected to our mission. Our materials include the following:
The Reading Companion
The Reading Companion is a great resource to accompany your reading. It includes author biographies, book reflections, discussion questions, literary criticism, and space to record your favorite quotes, burning questions, and notes from your meetings.
Monthly Audio Resources
These will enrich your reading and group discussion. Audios include an introduction to each book that explains why it was chosen and what to look for in your reading. (Even if you miss the meeting, all members have access to listen to the audios on their own.)
