SHPTV

BUNKER HILL – This summer Smoky Hills Public Television (SHPTV) is working with public libraries throughout central and western Kansas to conduct summer reading programs through the Share a Story project.

Share a Story helps children become better readers by inspiring adults to read to children every day. Research shows that activities like these do 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.

Share a Story is a 45-60 minute program geared toward children ages 2-7. Each program consists of viewing a short clip from a PBS children’s program, reading a related book and doing a simple activity. Each participant receives his or her own book and related materials.

The programs begin May 29th. The full schedule is available at shptv.org.

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 Smoky Hills Public Television’s Share a Story is all about!

Smoky Hills Public Television serves 71 counties in central and western Kansas.
