Read for the Record: Oct. 8, 2009Join the Early Literacy Program (ELP) partners and children and families around the globe as we come together to read Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This international event aims to bring children together with valued grownups in their lives to read the same book, on the same day, in communities all over the world. Reading early to children is critical to supporting the development of reading skills -- an important indicator of later school success.Take part in history and help us break a new world record!
