Read for the RecordWant to show your support for early learning skills and the importance of reading with children? Then join the fun on August 24 when adults and young children across the country will be reading The Little Engine That Could, as part of the Read for the Record campaign for literacy.
This effort has come about thanks to Jumpstart, a national non-profit organization that works to build literacy, language, and social skills among low-income preschoolers, and its sponsors, Pearson Education, NBC, Starbucks, Penguin, and American Eagle Outfitters. NSBA supports the effort, too.
You can participate by organizing a reading event in your community or reading with a child. The campaign organizers hope to set a world record with the number of readers, so visit their Web site and use the promotional code "NSBA Reads" when registering.
