One day. One book. For children everywhere. October 2, 2008
Help us bring national attention to the importance of early childhood education by making Jumpstart’s Read for the Record the largest shared reading experience ever. You can make a difference just by reading with one child in your life. Even better, help put a copy of Corduroy into the hands of a child by donating a book at www.readfortherecord.org/books.

Can you imagine your childhood without your favorite stories?

Neither can we.  But the fact is that most children in low income communities have few, if any, age appropriate books in their homes.

Buy a book and open the world of reading for a child.

The number of books in a home is the single strongest indicator of a child's future reading ability setting him or her on a track for success in school and in life.

Your donation puts books directly into the hands of children who need them most. Plus, 100% of the proceeds support Jumpstart’s proven program, which provides caring adult mentors who work one-to-one with children for a full year to help prepare them to enter school ready to succeed.

Jumpstart has reached over 50,000 children so far, but there are many more who need our help.
