Every month, READ USA publishes a new volume of Jeremy’s Journey, a book that follows our fictional elementary school character, Jeremy, who meets with some of Northeast Florida’s most well-known community leaders and learns their stories. The purpose is to showcase local, diverse leaders and perpetuate representation by connecting leaders and students through literacy. Jeremy’s Journey books also partially meet elementary school social studies requirements since they feature local leaders, jobs, and geography, helping fill a gap for elementary teachers by making a locally created resource available for their curriculum.
