We set a new record!
FasTracKids International once again participated in Jumpstart’s annual campaign titled Read For The Record! FasTracKids Centers were a part of the crusade of reading the same book on the same day in hopes of setting a new world record while bringing awareness to the crisis in early literacy.
On October 7, 2010, FasTracKids helped reach a new record by reading The Snowy Day, by Ezra Jack Keats in 16 different countries. Jumpstart reported that 2,057,513 children heard the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow.
