I’m with Otis! Join the Otis Book Parade for Read for the Record on We Give Books
Take part in Read for the Record on We Give Books! We Give
Books readers from across the country and around the world are coming
together to show their support for early childhood literacy. Join me and
Otis, the star of this year’s Jumpstart’s Read for the Record campaign,
to set new reading records and stand up for children everywhere.
Presented in partnership with the Pearson Foundation,
Jumpstart’s Read for the Record highlights the need for high quality
early education in America by mobilizing children and adults to set a
record for the largest shared reading event to support Jumpstart’s
mission to work toward the day every child in America enters
kindergarten prepared to succeed. When you Read for the Record on We
Give Books, either online or on the We Give Books app, you will also
help set a new digital reading record.
The fun lasts more than just one day! On We Give Books, you
can read, give, and share with Otis all season long in the Otis Book
Parade, a digital book club for kids. Each week leading up to Read for
the Record on October 3, they will feature a special book from their
library, online and on their new app, along with reading resources that
highlight values exemplified by Otis. We Give Books also has fun Otis
activities and ways for you to share your reading celebrations. Join the
Parade at
wegivebooks.org/readfortherecord, and tell everyone, “I’m
with Otis!”
