Jumpstart Read for the Record 2011: The Center reads llama llama red pajama by Anna Dewdney

Summary: October 6, 2011 marks this year’s Jumpstart Read for the Record campaign. In partnership with the Pearson Foundation, this event aims to break a world record for having the most people read the same book on the same day. Jumpstart was identified by the Center for High Impact Philanthropy as a Promising Practice in Pathways to Student Success: A Guide to Translating Good Intentions Into Meaningful Impact. Jumpstart’s promising model in practice (pg.22) is “Building school readiness skills through increased time in one-on-one relationships with trained, caring adults.” To find out more about our work in U.S. Education, please visit the Center’s website : http://www.impact.upenn.edu/us-domestic-issues/reports/category/education/. This is the Center’s second year participating in this event by reading this year’s book, llama llama red pajama, by Anna Dewdney. You can also participate by visiting Jumpstart’s website: jstart.org. You can listen to this recording here on our podcast channel, on iTunes, or by downloading the mp3 file for your preferred media player. We’re happy to be a part of this great event to promote reading and literacy not only in the United States, but around the world
