On August 24, 2006, in communities all across America, people will gather to read The Little Engine That Could and visibly show their support for Jumpstart’s Read for the Record. They will read at their local library, the town green, the Starbucks down the street, a local preschool, and in their own homes.

Help set a world record and then enjoy all that the Children's Museum has to offer! FREE admission passes to the museum will be available for participants who arrive between 1:00pm and 4:00pm.

Read for the Record is Jumpstart's summer campaign to raise awareness for the importance of an early education and the role of early literacy in a child's life. On August 24th, we will be holding events all over the country to set the record for the most children reading the same book- The Little Engine that Could- on the same day.

The event will include celebrity readings of the story. In addition to the performances, educational games and activities as well as a reading area will be available to children and their families.
