FasTracKids – Read for the Record Success!

We at FasTracKids – Carmel Valley/Del Mar, are excited to start 2016 with a look back on a special event that occurred on October 22, 2015.  Jumpstart’s premiere national campaign Read for the Record, presented in partnership with FasTracKids, is one day of the year when millions of individuals come together to celebrate literacy and support efforts to promote early childhood education.

Over 2.2 million readers participated, creating the world’s largest shared reading experience.  Read for the Record was an idea conceived by Jumpstart in 2006, with the goal of having children across the globe read the same book on the same day.

FasTracKids centers and schools around the world read the book Not Norman: A Goldfish Story by Kelly Bennett and illustrated by Noah Z.

Here are FasTracKids’ numbers:

–          16,224 children and adult participants read Not Norman worldwide!

–          16 FasTracKids countries were represented!
