Each year, Read for the Record™ unites millions of participants nationwide in a single act: reading the same book on the same day to champion early literacy and put books into children’s hands.
Join the Movement
For more than 30 years, Jumpstart Kids has partnered with educators and families to support children ages 3-5 at the moment when language and learning develop fastest, building the literacy, language, and life skills children carry into kindergarten and beyond.
Now in its 21st year, Read for the Record™, Jumpstart Kids’ annual celebration, unites millions of children, families, and educators worldwide in a single act: reading the same book on the same day to champion early literacy. On February 25, 2027, we’re doing it again. Join us.
Jumpstarters come from every background — college students, professionals, retirees, community members — and share one thing: a conviction that early language and learning shape everything that follows. We provide the curriculum, the coaching, and the team. You bring the energy.
Every gift supports the work that puts trained Jumpstarters in preschool classrooms, books in children’s hands, and learning conversations at the center of early learning. Your contribution fuels early learning during the years when it matters most.
Join a network of companies committed to early literacy. Through employee engagement, cause campaigns, and custom partnerships, Jumpstart Kids turns company values into action, with measurable results in the communities you care about.
