This year on Oct 6, 2011 more than two million voices will call attention to the crisis in early education by creating the largest reading experience in history.
Each year a different book is chosen for this event. This year volunteer readers will share the book “Llama Llama Red Pajama” with children at 30 different centers in the area. Pledge to read to a child yourself by visiting: readfortherecord.com. The book is available on-line to read for free!
You can also help the ELC by being a special reader that day in a local child care center. The ELC is need of 30 volunteer readers. The books will be supplied. If interested in being a volunteer reader for this unique event please contact Jo
