Select Paterson afterschool programs celebrated a milestone in the city’s history Wednesday: the completion of the first Paterson Reads Book Club, featuring the reading, rhyming, rapping and word play of the middle grade novel Darius Daniels: Game On! The collaborators consider the book club a national model for literacy engagement.
Four afterschool programs with more than 100 students participated in the six-week book club coordinated by the Paterson Education Fund (PEF) and Darius Daniels Author Caroline Brewer.
