Read for the Record
Today is Jumpstart’s Read for the Record©–a world record breaking campaign that brings children and adults together to read the same book, on the same day, in homes and communities all over the world. The campaign also kicks off Jumpstart’s yearlong program, preparing preschool children in low-income neighborhoods for success in school and life.
This year’s book is The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats! If you don’t own the book, you may read it online. All you need to do is read the book with a child in your life, then fill out the online form to be counted in the official world record.
New York City Mayor Bloomberg discusses the effort on The Today Show.
