Kids' Stories Take Shape With "Stories Alive"

Stories Alive

One way to get kids interested in reading and literacy is to present THEIR stories. 

That is the approach of Stories Alive, based in Ashland. 

Stories that children create get polished and told and even staged by professional performers.  It brings their stories to life--hence the name of the organization.  Stories Alive Executive Director Ana Byers and kids' book author Matt Damon join us to talk about crafting stories for kid... and BY kids as well.
