Jumpstart’s Read for the Record is the world’s largest shared reading experience and celebrates and supports children’s early language and social-emotional development. The event– a day of celebration and fun– builds an intergenerational community through reading and raises awareness around the critical importance of early literacy and access to inclusive literature that fosters belonging and connection by reflecting children’s own experiences as well as showing the experiences of others. 

This year we will be reading:

With Lots of Love

Downtown Museum’s reading will be led by Robby Robinson, the voice of the VCU Rams from 3:15 pm-3:45 pm.
