WNED
offers Ready to Learn workshops that provide current
information about the local and national initiatives
of PBS KIDS Raising Readers.
Each two hour workshop focuses on ways parents
and teachers can use media resources based on
scientific research from the reading experts and
producers of the PBS children's shows, to help
reinforce reading readiness skills in their homes
and classrooms.
Clips
of PBS children's shows such as Sesame Street,
Between the Lions, Word World,
and Super Why are highlighted in the
workshops. Hands-on activities are provided to
demonstrate how reading readiness skills are integrated
into the shows and can be tied in to everyday
activities parents do with their kids.
A
workshop on how parents can use PBS children's
television shows and web based resources available
through WNED is also offered as one of a series
of family literacy classes for parents through
EPIC (Every Person Influences Children), called
Ready, Set, Read. For more information about Ready,
Set, Read training call EPIC at 332-4100.
