Del Mar Preschool Reads to Break Record

FasTracKids Del Mar, a leader in fun, interactive early childhood education, will be participating in Jumpstart’s 2014 Read for the Record event on October 21st.  FasTracKids Del Mar will be joining other FasTracKids centers worldwide in promoting early literacy for every child.

The Read for the Record campaign involves millions of children and adults who strive to break the world record for the most children reading the same book on the same day.  Bunny Cakes by author Rosemary Wells will be this year’s choice to help children become active readers.  By pledging to read, FasTracKids is helping create awareness for the importance of early childhood literacy in the community.

“Children are born learning, but not all children have the same advantages in receiving early education for a bright future” explains Nancy Faunce, President and CEO of FasTracKids International.  “At FasTracKids, we’re building on the natural curiosity of the youngest learners.  By hosting Jumpstart’s Read for the Record, we can help raise public awareness about the early education gap that exists between income levels and share our goals for developing the whole child with the knowledge to become creative thinkers, skilled leaders and resourceful problem solvers.”

Originally a national campaign, FasTracKids partnered with Jumpstart to allow the Read for the Record event to reach thousands of additional children and adults internationally.  FasTracKids Del Mar and Jumpstart’s partnership will help create the largest “shared reading experience” ever and challenge the record set in October 2013, when over 2.4 million children and parents heard the story Otis by Loren Long.
