The Black Spec Crew: Book Study for 4th-9th Graders

Course Overview:

Welcome to The Black Spec Crew, an engaging and immersive book study experience for 4th-8th graders ready to explore the exciting world of Black speculative fiction! Each session introduces students to a new author and book, offering a deep dive into compelling stories, rich histories, and vibrant characters. Participants will not only read but also explore art, poetry, and engage in thoughtful discussions that make the stories come alive. 

Each enrolled student will receive a special at-home learning kit, including items related to the book, ensuring that their reading journey is interactive and fun. The Black Spec Crew isn’t just a reading group—it’s a year-long adventure into imagination, culture, and creativity. Students can join us for individual sessions or commit to a full year of discovery!
