At tpt, we know that television can be a wonderful tool for learning.
We're proud of tpt’s history of award-winning, non-violent, commercial-free
programming for children. The time children spend watching our children's
programs is time spent learning. Wouldn't it be wonderful to extend the
learning after the program is over? When children take positive ideas
from programs and pursue them beyond the TV set, public television has
done its job.
High-quality programs for children, like the ones you see on tpt-2 and
tpt-17, can have a positive impact on your children - on their behavior,
thinking and language skills. Yet, even the best children's television
requires your participation to help children understand and grow with
the programs they watch.
Television can't - and shouldn't - do that alone, but it can be a positive
tool for learning. tpt's Ready to Learn Service is designed not only to
deliver to children the best in quality educational television programming,
but also to help parents, teachers and other childcare professionals use
television more effectively.
tpt 2 and 17's Ready to Learn Service is ...
-
A daily line-up of PBS's children's programming, specially designed
to meet the needs of preschool and school-aged children.
-
Educational messages between programs that urge children to be creative,
curious, cooperative and responsible learners.
-
Supplementary educational materials for children and adults, such
as the Parents Guide to Public Television and Media Literacy Guide.
-
Workshops for parents and child care providers demonstrating how
to use television interactively with children.
