Share a Story Promotional Video Spots

Share a Story is designed to inspire adults to help millions of children develop language and literacy skills through daily activities, including book reading, drawing, storytelling, rhyming and singing. Literacy experts have long recognized the link between children's exposure to language and their eventual reading success. Share a Story demonstrates how any caring adult can help raise a child's reading achievement.

As part of KSMQ's ongoing commitment to the communities we serve, we're inviting parents and children to Share a Story! This is an open invitation for parents and children to read sections of a book for use on-air and then end their reading saying ‘Reading Is Fun’. Learn how you can be featured in a promotional spot with your child or children. We believe this exciting opportunity helps all of those in the region who are working so hard to encourage reading among our young ones.

These promotional spots are part of our continual commitment to early literacy and our partnership with the communities we serve.

When children are nourished by words, they are better prepared to read and succeed in school. Any family member or caregiver, regardless of wealth, education or native language, can help enhance a child’s reading success by engaging in simple and fun activities. Reading aloud, sharing stories, singing songs and making rhymes teach children important lessons about words and how we use them.

Parenting Counts

It may seem obvious, but parenting counts! A growing body of research shows that the first five years of a child’s life are instrumental in setting patterns for how children learn and develop. Every interaction with your child, every act of verbal and non–verbal communication, is important in your child’s development.

Parenting Counts provides informational and entertaining resources to bridge the gap between the latest discoveries in early learning and brain development and parenting practice.
