Jumpstart's Read for the Record campaign is designed to generate public awareness by creating the largest shared reading experience ever and by breaking the record set on October 2, 2008, when 688,000 people read the same book across the country as part of Jumpstart's Read for the Record campaign.
This year's official campaign book is ”The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” On today, October 8, 2009, Henderson's pre-k, kindergarten, and first grade students participated in this reading campaign by reading the book and participating in a variety of activities about the caterpillar and beautiful butterfly.
Hal Henderson was surprised by a special guest, Mr. Nick, Assistant Manager of Talladega WalMart. WalMart partnered with Pearson in this giant effort to raise public awareness of the importance of Jumpstart's work in preschools year-round by encouraging hundreds of thousands across the United States to read this Limited Edition Campaign Book in a record-breaking celebration of reading, service, and fun. Thanks Mr. Nick for reading to our children.
Jumpstart's Read for the Record, presented in partnership with Pearson, is to ensure that all children in America enter school prepared to succeed. Year-round, Jumpstart recruits and trains thousands of people to work one-on-one with children in low-income communities, helping preschoolers develop the language, literacy, and social skills they need to succeed in school and in life.
