is PBS Kids Ready To Learn?
Ready To Learn uses public television
to help meet the national education goal that all children will begin school "Ready
To Learn." Children's programs can be used as tools for learning in homes,
preschools, and child care settings. The Ready To Learn Service provides workshops
designed to encourage active viewing experiences with reading and related activities.
Ready To Learn teaches families and caregivers how to use children's programing
as a valuable educational resource emphasizing selective viewing and encouraging
parents to watch TV with their children. Workshops, special events, curriculum
guides, and newsletters are all designed to take the learning from the TV set
into homes, family child care settings, schools, after-school programs, and child
care centers.Ready to Learn unites the power of television
with the magic of books to introduce families to the joy of reading. KTWU distributes
high-quality children's books each month to families who might not otherwise have
access to them, enabling them to build a home library of selected children's literature. For
