Breaking the World Reading Record

On December 13, 2006, we joined with 547,826 readers in 2,451 locations, in 50 states and 28 countries to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people simultaneously reading in multiple locations.

Additionally, we joined in the one and only SkypeCast that was part of this event. Through the SkypeCast, we were able to chat with and read with Mrs. Jennifer Wagner in California! Mrs. Wagner is the coordinator of the Charlotte's Web Online Project.
You can find links to her sites in our sidebar.
