Smoky Hills PBS is excited to announce the return of its Share A Story program, bringing educational fun to communities across Central and Western Kansas. This program is designed to share free educational resources, story time, and engaging activities with our youngest viewers and their families.
This summer, Share A Story will travel to over 70 local libraries throughout Kansas, offering a 45-60 minute program geared toward children ages 2-7. This year’s theme will be Dinosaurs!
Each program consists of the following format:
1. Read it – Read a book
2. Watch it – View a show related to the book
3. Do it – Have fun making a craft
Each participant receives his or her own book and related materials.
Share a Story helps children become better readers by inspiring adults to read to children every day. Research shows that activities like these make a difference. Children who are read to every day, from birth on, do better in school, become good listeners and writers, and have better language, critical and imaginative skills.
Simple, fun daily activities like reading aloud, storytelling, rhyming, singing, exercise, drawing, and acting, teach young children language and literacy skills – and that’s what Share a Story is all about!
The Share a Story program will be at the Great Bend Public Library on June 10 at 10:30 a.m. A complete schedule of Share a Story events can be found here.
