Jumpstart's Read for the Record® - October 3, 2013

Jumpstart’s premiere national campaign, Read for the Record, presented in partnership with the Pearson Foundation, is one time of the year when millions of individuals come together to celebrate literacy and support Jumpstart in its efforts to promote early childhood education. On October 3, people across the country united to read the children’s book Otis by Loren Long in support of Jumpstart’s mission: to work toward the day every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed.




Our class had the opportunity to enjoy listening to a DVD recording of Henry County Public Schools' superintendent, Dr. Jared Cotton, read the story Otis.  In addition, the children were quick to identify the characters, setting, 2 problems, and solutions of the story.  What a great idea!
