Thank you to our local Community Action Teams for being an important part of Jumpstart’s 17th Annual Read for the Record! Over 2.1 million people participated this year, and over 156,000 special-edition copies of Nigel and the Moon into the hands of young children. Your commitment to early literacy brings us closer to the day when all children enter kindergarten prepared to succeed.

Our December books are going to be full of surprises! We had to put in a few extra books this month, so show us which book your child received in by posting a photo below!
Reminder: "Read to Me" is mailed to all our new participants and "Wemberly Worried" is mailed to all the participants who graduate when they turn 5 years old.
Don't forget: Due to the holidays, it might take longer to get your book this month.
