Read for the Record
October 2, 2008

Join classes all over the United States and Read for the Record.  Teachers read Corduroy to their class, record the number of students listening to the story, and send in the total to the PDK website. The goal is to set a world record.  Check this website for information: 

"Jumpstart’s Read for the Record

Every $10 donation to the Pearson Charitable Foundation made through a special PDK/FEA website supports early childhood education and the PDK Walk for Education. The Walk helps fund scholarships for educators through the PDK Educational Foundation. Plus, you'll receive a copy of Corduroy so you can join others worldwide on October 2nd in creating the largest ever shared reading experience. " This quote came from the PDK International website.
