Here It Is

Here is my first "non scripted" story. It's a news feature. Took a regular news story and made it interesting and readable. I have fixed most of the errors on it. There where a couple of commas and a word or two that made it read better. Wanna read it? Here it is.

Something had to be done to get him out of there fast. Humphrey looked sick. The scientists knew he would die if he didn't get back to the ocean. ... Turn the page.
The kids sit in anticipation waiting to see what will happen next to Humphrey, the title character of "Humphrey The Lost Whale," a story written by Wendy Tokuda and Richard Hall.
Every summer the post library has a reading program for kids 2-15 to get them interested in reading. On Tuesdays between July 5 and Aug. 2, children of all ages can participate in story time and crafts.
Each week will feature a new "Explore The World" topic. Books and crafts the staff has chosen will be based on the subject and age level.
The reading adventure will start with a trip around the world. Then it is off to explore nature and all its wonders. Next will be a study about cultures of the world. What better place to go after that? Under the sea of course. Finally it's off to space to celebrate how "out of this world" reading can be.
"Families look forward to the summer reading program," said Trudy F. White, a library technician here. They remember how much fun the program was the year before, she said.
Last year 88 kids participated in the program. This year the library is expecting twice as many participants, said Jan Curtis, a post library technician.
The program will be set up in three age groups: preschool age, kindergarten to fifth grade, and sixth to 12th grade.
The staff will try to do whatever they can to get kids interested in reading books this summer, said Curtis.
There will be stories and crafts based on the weekly theme. Several books on the theme will be available for reading and to check out.
The first half of the hour will be story time, and the second half will be for crafts. Crafts are done mainly so that preschoolers have something to take home.
"When they see their craft hanging at home, they'll think 'library,'" said Curtis.
Stories for the younger children will be read all the way through. The staff will try to read more than one if possible.
For the older kids, chapters will be read to spark an interest in the book.
During crafts, the teens will be able to help the little children with the projects.
Everyone who comes to the library to sing up during "Kickoff Week" will receive a library bag filled with an activity book and other theme-related goodies. Also in the bag will be a summer reading list with extra books the kids can read at home. Each week children will receive surprises like penciles and stickers for participating.
Small prizes have been recently donated for the children to win. There is no set plan yet on how the prizes will be distributed.
The prizes are intended to entice kids into reading through the whole summer.
Reading over the summer helps keep reading skills sharp, said Curtis. "The more you do, the better you get," she said.
The library offers many different magazines for kids in the children's reading room.
What will happen to Humphrey? Come to the library during the "Explore The World" summer reading program and find out. Sign-up is Tuesday to July 2 at the post library.

There it is. Hope you liked it. It was good enough to get me a 91.
