Jumpstart’s Read for the Record® highlights the importance of high quality early learning for all children, while also raising funds to support Jumpstart’s programming in communities across the country.

Each year on Read for the Record Day, people gather in classrooms, libraries, community centers, and homes across the U.S. to read our chosen Read for the Record book to children in the community. Read for the Record is the world’s largest shared reading experience—bringing together over 2 million people to read the same book on the same day. This annual campaign was launched over a decade ago to bring national attention to inequities in early childhood education and as a way to inspire adults to read with children, spur policymakers and organizations to take action towards transformative change in early education, and put books in the hands of more children across the country.

Since 2006, Read for the Record has grown into a global effort, collectively engaging over 19 million children and adults worldwide.

Jumpstart is working toward the day that every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed, and by joining Read for the Record and buying a book, you are helping to support that vision, while also putting books in the hands of children who need them.
