Abstract
Twopracticesof innovativereadinghaverecentlygainedtremendouspopularity inSpain,
particularly in terms of the didactic aspect of increasing reading literacy and language
comprehension: book clubs and literary gatherings. Based on the results of an ethno-
graphic study with participatory observation and interviews, the author illustrates the
differencesandspecificpotentialsofbothpracticesbothfortheschool-basedformandin
other social settings. A direct comparison reveals that each of the two forms follows a
differentparadigm,andcan thuscompensate fordifferentpreconditionsor, respectively,

1 Introduction
Thispaperwill focuson two readingpractices: bookclubs anddialogic literary
gatherings, which have seen an extraordinary growth. However, scientific re-
search on this field in Spaindiffers from the status of international studies, as
publications on book clubs, which began in the 1990s, are scarce and focus
mainlyonhowtheyhavebeenpromoted1.
In contrast, some studies have been published in Spain on dialogic literary
gatherings2. Inanyevent, todate therehasbeennoresearchthathas focusedon
the similarities and differences between book clubs and dialogical literary
gatherings, both in terms of their theoretical foundations and their practices.
Therefore, this bears further investigation in order to clarify how these two
innovative strategiesoperate.
