| The Big Read: Read for the Record - World Book Day - March 4th Wed 03 Feb 2010 |
|
IF is a UK registered charity that began life as an aspiration at the heart of which is an understanding that enormous good can be done if people, seek to overcome limitations, become a little less serious and begin to work together.
IF, with Tower Hamlets Council, the London Muslim Centre (LMC), the Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE) and Muslim Aid invites you to participate in the BIG READ; an attempt to break a Guinness World Record for “the most children reading with an adult” (Guinness Book of Records official title).
The current record stands at 3,032 achieved by The Kindergarten Starters School at Global Village in Dubai, UAE, on 12 November 2008.
In a 12-hour period up to 5,000 children are needed to listen to Roald Dahl’s timeless classic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. To qualify for the record a child has to listen to an adult read for half an hour.
Schools, teachers, parents, pupils, celebrities and councillors will gather on 4th March 2010, World Book Day, to participate in this record breaking attempt which simultaneously aims to promote the importance of reading and literacy amongst children and create the largest shared reading experience in the World.
Date: Thursday 4th March 2010
Time: 9am to 9pm
Venue: London Muslim Centre, Whitechapel Rd, London, E1 1JX
Let’s bring this record to London on World Book Day!
Please note there is a £2 participation fee per child to cover the administration costs of the event.
All participants will receive an exclusive World Record Breaking certificate, only if we are successful at this record attempt.
