Ready To Learn

WETA's Ready To Learn initiative was created especially for families and child care providers to help them nurture a child's natural curiosity and love of learning.

Ready To Learn combines television designed to teach with community outreach and innovative educational materials. This exciting blend of television services builds on the PBS children's programs that families know and trust — such as Sesame Street, Between the Lions, Cyberchase and Clifford. We offer:

• More than 60 hours of quality educational and entertaining children's programming every week
• Non-commercial, educational breaks on-air to help children become successful learners
• Workshops for parents and families, child care providers, and teachers to help them use TV as an engaging literacy tool
• PBS Families, a magazine published twice a year in English and Spanish, with stories and ideas for activities
• Free books for workshop participants and their families

These resources help families, teachers, and caregivers use public television to help teach children the fundamental literacy skills that they will need to learn.

THANKS!!

Ready To Learn is made possible through the generous support of Capital One, The Claude Moore Charitable Foundation, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation and the Wachovia Foundation.
