Read for the Record

Today was Read for the Record Day, an event from Jumpstart, wegivebooks.org, and Pearson Books designed to promote literacy.  I had the opportunity to start our morning assembly with the book Otis by Loren Long.  Many of our kids already knew who Otis was because Otis and the Tornado was on the Bill Martin Jr. Picture Book Award list last year, so I had read it to K-2.  This was a fun chance for me to get to share a book with the whole school at one time--and I loved it!  I hope the kids loved it too!

Last year, over 2,000,000 people read together on Read for the Record Day.  I'm anxious to see this year's results!
