Prime Time program celebrates 10 years in Nebraska
10 years 14 communities 26 different sites 84 programs 4,200 individuals served $605,000 invested
In April, the
Nebraska Humanities Council celebrates a decade of bringing Prime
Time Family Reading Time to Nebraskans statewide. The family
literacy program is designed to help strengthen participants'
interest and skills in reading and talking
The six-week series is offered free to families whose children ages 6 to 10 struggle with reading.
A 10-year impact study found that students who participated in Prime Time during their early elementary years outperformed their peers on grade-level content in standardized exams. Prime Time students scored higher in language arts and reading, mathematics, science, life sciences and other subjects. The study, published in 2010, was conducted in Louisiana, where the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities developed Prime Time in 1991.
Thanks to generous funding from the State of Nebraska, Nebraska Cultural Endowment, local organizations and individuals, Nebraska's Prime Time Family Reading Time has been offered in 14 public libraries, nine elementary schools and three community centers in Alliance, Columbus, Crete, Gering, Gibbon, Grand Island, Hastings, Lexington, Lincoln, Norfolk, Omaha, Schuyler, Scottsbluff and South Sioux City.
Six Prime Time programs are scheduled for this spring in Lincoln, Norfolk, Omaha and Scottsbluff.
Tune in to "Humanities Desk"
Tune in to Saturday's "Weekend Edition" at 8:30 a.m. Central Time and "Sunday Morning Edition" at 9:30 a.m. Central Time for coverage of local humanities events. The council also provides funding for NET programs that record and preserve Nebraska's heritage.
"Humanities Desk" also airs in Omaha at 12:00 noon Mondays on KVNO (90.7 FM)
