Kids: Get Ready to Write (and Draw)!
KQED Education Network is gearing up for the 14th annual Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators Contest. Children from kindergarten through the third grade are encouraged to write and illustrate their own stories, and enter them into the popular contest. The deadline for entries is March
14, 2008.
KQED has hosted the contest since its inception in 1994. In 2007, we received
over 900 entries from all over the Bay Area, and we're looking forward to seeing
even more imaginative and creative work this year.

Every child who participates in the contest will receive a special certificate
of achievement signed by Reading
Rainbow host LeVar Burton. First, second, third place, and honorable mention
winners will be picked from each grade level (K-3). Their gifts and prizes will
be presented at a special awards ceremony at the KQED studios.
The Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators Contest is one of many opportunities provided by KQED Education Network where its Early Learning program teaches parents and childcare professionals how to turn PBS programming into an interactive, educational tool.
