Our book clubs meet weekly at The Prep in South Tampa. Each book club costs $35 per week and are one hour long. Book clubs are led by Mary DeBevoise Carlson. Learn more about me, below!

"When we signed up for Little South Tampa Book Club we honestly were not sure what to expect. Our kiddo has loved every single second. Ms. Mary has fortified his love of reading while also challenging his comprehension and story retelling. We are so thankful he sees such value in an academic extra-curricular and sees reading as a treat because of Ms. Mary!" - Parent of 7-year-old child

"If you are looking for a fun, nurturing environment that will inspire a lasting love of reading in your child, then Little South Tampa Book Club is exactly what you need! Ms. Mary does an incredible job engaging the kids in the books, while teaching them how to create meaningful connections to the stories. The lessons and activities help develop their social-emotional skills and encourage critical thinking and reading comprehension. I’ve found my 6-year-old has been able to talk about the books she’s read in ways she never has before, and she is more confident in her reading abilities. It makes my heart happy to see her excited to pick up books and read! I credit Ms. Mary and her fantastic program for fostering this growth and love of reading." - Parent of a 6-year-old child
