November 7, 2024On October 24th, over 110 schools and more than 14,000 students across our nationwide network had an amazing time participating in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record event. Read for the Record is the world’s largest shared reading experience, celebrating early literacy and supporting children’s early language and social-emotional development.
Each year features a different book, and this year’s selection was Piper Chen Sings by Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran. The book tells the story of a little girl who loves to sing and is always humming and making music, but gets butterflies in advance of a school solo performance. Illustrations include actual butterflies to help children understand the metaphor, as well as Piper’s joy in overcoming her nervousness.
Our students not only participated in the reading event, but they also had fun engaging in classroom activities related to the story, such as exploring music, putting on performances, creating artwork, and more! We are proud to be part of this inspiring initiative, and it’s moments like these that help spark a lifelong love of reading in our students!
