Two New World Reading Records Helped Set By FasTracKids

Millions of readers around the world joined together on October 3rd to celebrate Jumpstart’s Read for the Record by reading Otis and supporting Jumpstart’s mission to work toward the day every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed.  The annual event was a huge success for readers everywhere, with fun new ways to celebrate this year like the Google Hangout On Air with Otis author Loren Long and the Otis Book Parade of celebration photos.  Together we set two new World Reading Records: 2,465,860 people read for the record in schools, community gatherings, and at home; including more than 400,000 digital reads at We Give Books, a landmark number!
