Read for the Record August 24

Jumpstart’s Read for the Record, scheduled for Thursday, August 24, is intended to be the largest shared reading experience ever. Tens of thousands of adults and young children will read The Little Engine That Could together in their homes, libraries, parent groups, preschool centers, and major public venues on August 24 to show support for early learning, to engage in the very practice that helps young children thrive, and to set a world record.

A special edition of The Little Engine That Could, published by Penguin and generously printed gratis by Pearson, will celebrate Jumpstart’s Read for the Record campaign and share with you important tips for making the most of reading time with young children. The custom limited edition of The Little Engine That Could is available exclusively at Starbucks from August 1–28.
