Win A Chance To Skype With Kelly Bennett On Jumpstarts Read For The Record Day!

On October 22,  Kelly Bennett's wonderful book Not Norman will be read in classrooms, book stores, parks, homes and other places around the world.  

You see this is the book that Jumpstart has picked for Read for the Record!  

For the 10th year, Jumpstart is celebrating reading with their global campaign Read for the Record which generates public support for high-quality early learning and highlights the importance of building children's vocabulary and the love for reading. 

I am very excited that we will celebrate reading with Not Norman this year.

And to make Read for the Record even more special, Kelly is going to Skype with nine super lucky schools on that day!

And we would love to have you and your students join us too!

If you would like to win a chance to Skype with Kelly, please tweet me at @shannonmmiller and share a special message about #ReadfortheRecord  We will pick the winners and let everyone know.

In the meantime, you can go to the Jumpstart website and find an awesome Toolkit filled with resources to make your Read for the Record event as special as it can be. 

I love these stickers that you can print off and give your students on that day.

You can even read Not Norman online in English and Spanish by registering to read.

I can't wait to see who wants to connect with Kelly to celebrate reading on October 22nd.  Remember....all you have to do is send a tweet!  I will take care of the rest.

I hope everyone has fun celebrating Read for the Record with your school community and children too this year. Let's make it one we won't forget!
