Join a community of readers to celebrate early literacy for all children by reading.

Join Jax PBS KIDS, over two million readers, and thousands of classrooms, libraries, and communities across the world for Read for the Record 2024, a celebration of early literacy that includes reading Piper Chen Sings by Grammy Award-Winning Hamilton star Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran.

Jumpstart’s Read for the Record is the world’s largest shared reading experience, celebrating early literacy and supporting children’s early language and social-emotional development. The annual initiative raises awareness of the critical importance of early literacy and access to inclusive, high-quality books through shared reading.

Piper Chen Sings is a story about a young girl who loves to express herself through singing but is struck with self-doubt and nervousness when asked to perform a solo in front of an audience. Piper learns that feeling butterflies means “something exciting was ahead” and that recognizing and welcoming that anxious feeling would help it pass, and she learns to find her voice again.
