For PBS Stations
Public television and literacy outreach
Television has tremendous potential to help young children learn. Given the power of television, young children need adults who can show them how to become wise television users and who can use television to contribute to school readiness.
Reading Rockets is pleased to present the following information for public television stations involved in activities that support children's learning.
Toolkit for outreach coordinators
This free toolkit, developed by Reading Rockets provides handouts and materials to make it easy for coordinators to offer literacy workshops. Included in the kit are video modules that show what works in teaching and encouraging kids to become readers.
