Twin Cities Area Reading Council (TCARC) would like to thank you for making our Lucy Calkins event a success on Saturday, April 22, 2017! Please watch for future TCARC events soon.

Lucy’s expertise, wisdom, and leadership have provided amazing impact and solid grounding for the literacy profession. Lucy provided an overview of Writers Workshop and many practical ideas to incorporate into daily literacy work!
