Program description

Arthur follows the adventures and misadventures of 8-year-old Arthur Read (an aardvark), his little sister D.W., and his friends and family. Each of the episodes consists of two stories that focus on themes central to children's lives.

For ages 4 and up.

Series Goals

  • Model positive social behavior
  • Promote critical thinking and everyday problem solving
  • Motivate children to read and write

The characters on Arthur grapple with the same issues that many children in the audience face: maintaining friendships, working things out with siblings, dealing with fears, and doing the right thing. The show can serve as a springboard for family conversations that invite kids to talk about similar situations in their lives.

Helping Kids Prepare for School

The series encourages children to hone their social and problem-solving skills. These skills, along with literacy skills modeled by the characters, help prepare young children for school and for life.
