Kentucky Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, has been providing resources to teachers throughout the Commonwealth for many years. To enhance your reading curriculum, current offerings include School Days and Prime Time Family Reading®.

School Days
As part of the Kentucky Book Festival, School Days brings authors to dozens of schools across Kentucky to meet students in an exciting, interactive learning experience. Each student receives a signed book from the author to add to their reading collection at home.

Virtual School Days visits for 1st- and 2nd-grade students with Jessica Young, Shawn Pryor or Amanda Driscoll will be available from March-May 2021. Apply at School Days Program – Kentucky Book Festival.

Prime Time Family Reading®
Prime Time Family Reading® is a six-week reading, discussion and storytelling program held at public libraries or schools. A university scholar and a storyteller (who act as discussion leaders) conduct weekly storytelling and discussion sessions based on award-winning children’s picture books. Participants are elementary age children and their families.

Apply to host Prime Time at Prime Time for Schools.
