(FRANKFORT, Ky.) -- "Share A Story" nights, part of the statewide Unite to Read project and supported by KET, are scheduled at public schools across the state during October and November.

Unite to Read, a statewide literacy project designed by Kentucky's Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs), the Future Educators of America (FEA) and the Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP), is supporting the PBS KIDS "Share A Story" initiative. Unite to Read is designed to promote literacy and lifelong reading among schoolchildren in the state and involves nearly 50,000 middle and high school students, who lead the project in their respective schools.
PBS KIDS "Share A Story" is a national campaign that helps kids develop reading and language skills, funded in part by a Ready to Learn cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Education.
More than 60 schools statewide have plans for activities during "Share A Story" nights. Contact local school district officials for more details in your area.
