(Lehigh Valley, PA) Kindergarten through third graders are invited to write and illustrate original story books and enter them in the 13th Reading Rainbow Young Writers and Illustrators Contest. Applications and additional information are available here.
Sponsored by the award-winning PBS television series READING RAINBOW, the Contest attracts over 400 entries locally and more than 40,000 entries nationally each year. PBS 39 together with more than 100 other PBS stations nationwide sponsor the contest. Kindergarten through third graders enter by creating an original story with illustrations and submitting it with an official entry form to PBS 39.
PBS 39 Vice President of Education and Outreach Dr. Teri Haddad stated "The Reading Rainbow contest provides children with an opportunity to share their creativity with the community.” She continued, this contest underscores PBS 39’s commitment to supporting the efforts of schools and parents to get children excited about reading."
Airing weekdays on PBS 39 at 5:30 AM, READING RAINBOW builds lasting friendships between children and books. The contest builds on the program's mission to stimulate a child's interest in reading.
Every child who enters the Contest receives a special Certificate of Achievement signed by LeVar Burton, host of the READING RAINBOW series. Local first place winners advance to the national competition. The winning students will also receive prizes and all entrants and their families are invited to attend the PBS 39 Reading Rainbow Gala.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
