Slayton, MN- On October 8th, 2009, Minnesota Reading Corps members in the local area will be participating in the nationwide Read for the Record Campaign. Reading Corps members will be reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. More than one million children and adults throughout the world are expected to participate.
Read for the Record is sponsored by the non-profit group Jumpstart and the Pearson Foundation. The event is designed to draw attention to the lack of accessibility to books in low-income communities. Over the past three years, Jumpstart's Read for the Record Campaign has raised more than $3 million dollars to support this mission.
