October 7, 2010 | We Give Books is celebrating Jumpstart’s Read for the Record. Join us and the millions of people around the world who will participate in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record campaign.
Organized by the Language Arts Department, Santa Barbara Catholic School is supporting Jumpstart’s yearlong literacy program – giving at-risk children a jumpstart on the future – and breaking a world record for the greatest number of people reading the same book on the same day by besting the current record of over two million readers in 2009!
We Give Books is a free website that enables anyone with access to the Internet to put books in the hands of children who don’t have them,
simply by reading online. Share the power and the pleasure of reading and teach children about helping others at the same time. Each time you read a book online, you help give a brand-new book to a child in need.
