The Governor’s Office of Early Childhood shares the following on how to read with young children. Interactive or dialogic reading is more than just reading a story. It is children and adults having a conversation about a book.

How we read to preschoolers is as important as how frequently we read to them. In dialogic reading, the adult helps the child become the teller of the story. The adult becomes the listener, questioner and audience for the child.

The Kentucky Association of Counties, commonly referred to as KACo, presented last month a new learning tool to third and fourth grade students called the “County Government Booklet: An Activity Guide for Kids.” The booklet contains fun learning exercises to help promote student learning about various government officials within their community.

The County Government Booklet: An Activity Guide for Kids was developed through the meshing of ideas from three teachers based out of the state’s capital –Frankfort.

The constitution is the lifeblood of this nation, our rhyme and reason, our certificate to being American.

To me, the constitution is not merely a contract, but represents what it means to be part of this great country. The constitution establishes a perfect Union, creating a nation in which we can thrive and be proud. The pages of the constitution grant citizens of the United States freedoms, giving us rights as humans. This manuscript is the heartbeat of our country; it throbs in every American’s heart, it beats in my heart.
