The Wichita Public Schools knows parents play a key role in supporting their child's academic success, espcially with developing skills before they start school. The Growing Up WPS video series, for parents with children ages 4 - 8, provides short, simple lessons parents can do with their children to develop reading and math skills. The series will show how parents can use every-day items or places to teach their children about letters, counting, shapes and other items. The series is hosted by Deputy Superintendent Dr. Tiffinie Irving. 

The Growing Up WPS videos can be viewed on WPS Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. 

Growing Up WPS can be viewed on WPS-TV, online or on Cox Cable Channel 20, on Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 9:30 a.m.

The videos are available below on this webpage to allow parents to watch at their convenience. 

Growing up WPS supports increasing 3rd grade reading proficiency - one of the long-term goals with the Every Student Future Ready Strategic Plan.
