The Abbey Lane Bookworms, a recently-formed club, read their first book, 'Because of Winn-Dixie.' Bookworms, an exciting new club for third graders at Abbey Lane Elementary in the Levittown School District, recently started to much success.

Thirteen third graders have met once a week with teacher Denise Borge. The group read "Because of Winn-Dixie" by Kate DiCamillo and held in-depth discussions about the story's themes and characters. Bookworms is helping students develop a deep love of reading. As they reach the end of their first read, students are excited to see what's coming next.
