What’s New
When You Wonder, You’re Learning Book Circle Project
The Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, alongside co-authors Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski, is thrilled to launch the When You Wonder, You’re Learning Book Circle Project, made possible by the generous support of The Patterson Foundation!
On September 13 and 14, Ryan connected with folks in Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota and set the stage for our region’s book circle adventure.
The excitement is contagious as book lovers and educationalists like you are already signing up to lead or actively participate in book circles.
