KET programming has woven its way into Kentucky Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Ashli Watts’ life since childhood. “Growing up, I was watching Reading Rainbow in class, first and second grade, and throughout middle school. I also grew up in a household where PBS and KET were watched and discussed.”

Watts’ connection to KET only grew from there. “Fast forward several years down the road, my daughter, Emma, was born, and we had KET going at our house all the time. Shows like Daniel Tiger, Sesame Street and Super Why, those shows were always on at home. I knew that when my kids watched KET, they were going to be safe and that they were going to learn something. It was going to be quality programing, where a lot of times on other networks, it’s probably not values that I really want to teach my kids.”

Watts’ personal and professional engagement with KET cross over regularly at home and in the office. “[At home], we catch The Farmer & The Foodie or This Old House; living and breathing in the world of Kentucky politics, it is on all the time.

And it’s not just on our TVs, it’s on 2

TODAY’S KET August is one of our favorite times of year as we look forward to students going back to school and sharing our newest resources with educators to help make their classrooms the best they can be.

Among our latest services is Cursive Connection, a collection of instructive videos – one on each letter of the alphabet – that helps young students learn cursive handwriting. The Kentucky General Assembly passed legislation that requires cursive instruction, and KET’s new resource directly supports teaching the skills to build proficiency.

This is just the latest of hundreds of resources KET creates and makes available to Kentucky students, families and educators, available free of charge.

They range from early childhood literacy and development through K-12 and GED preparation for adults.

We also look forward to sharing our special SummerPledge programming with viewers. We hope you will consider renewing or increasing your support and encourage others to do the same. Your essential contributions make possible the purchase of programs, including All Creatures Great and Small, Nature, Nova, Antiques Roadshow, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Doc Martin, Movie Classics and many others that air on KET throughout the year.

We appreciate and thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO
