Katherine House, a 5th grade teacher with Matthew C. Perry Elementary, reads to her students as part of an official attempt to break a Guinness World Record aimed to raise awareness about literacy at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Oct. 19, 2015. Points of Light, the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation, Deloitte and hundreds of other organizations hope to read to the most children ever in a 24 hour period by working across time zones and continents. Read Across the Globe is an event during this literacy-awareness week that brings the power of volunteers together to impact literacy in local communities. Teachers and volunteers read to students for 35 uninterrupted minutes. Those minutes were then matched to schools across the globe to hopefully beat the current record.
