Ready To Learn Workshops

These Ready To Learn workshops help parents and teachers of young children learn how interactive television viewing linked with storybook reading and activities enrich a child's learning.

Families attend three to six Ready To Learn sessions to explore reading strategies, math, science, media literacy and related hands-on activities. Families are recruited through public schools and other parenting programs. Participating families receive six to twelve children's storybooks, materials for home activities and the PBS Families newsletters.

Family Reading Workshops are scheduled at the following schools:
