Here's another special day meant to encourage reading. This one is brought to you by Pearson, a "learning company" that produces textbooks and provides other educational products and services, and Jumpstart, a volunteer program trying to make sure that every child entering kindergarten is ready with the skills needed to succeed.
The "record" part in Read for the Record is that the idea behind the day is trying to set a record for the world's largest shared reading experience. The idea is that you register to read, letting the organizers know how many people will be involved (little kids listening to a read-aloud book is the common scenario, I gather), and you either order the book chosen for the Read-Aloud or you download the free digital copy, and then you report online when you accomplished the read-aloud.
The book chosen for this year's Read for the Record is Quackers, by Liz Wong.
Use the Read for the Record website to register / download the free book / record the numbers.
