What Is Ready to Learn?
Rocky Mountain PBS's Ready To Learn project is part of the nationwide PBS KIDS Ready To Learn initiative. Ready To Learn is public television's response to a critical national education goal:
All children will enter school Ready To Learn.

How Does It Work?
The Ready to Learn service helps adults learn how to combine PBS's award-winning children's television programming with a variety of activities to help build children's learning skills.

Ready To Learn encourages adults to:

Watch television with children.
Limit the amount of television children watch.
Be more selective in their choices of television programming for children.
Seek out books and activities to reinforce the educational information provided in PBS children's series and other television programs.

What Tips Do You Learn?

Ready To Learn activities reinforce the development of the following school-readiness skills identified by the National Educational Goals Panel:

Social and Emotional skills
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving skills
Language and Literacy skills
Physical and Motor skills
Cognitive skills
Science and Discovery skills
Life skills
Appreciation and Understanding of Cultural and Social Diversity
Music and Art Appreciation and Performance skills

What Is Included In a Workshop?
Participants in the Rocky Mountain PBS Ready To Learn workshops receive books, valuable tools and information that they can use with children.

Ready To Learn Reaches Millions.

National broadcasts of PBS Ready To Learn children's programming reach 37 million children through public television stations.
Approximately six million children have benefited from Ready To Learn educational outreach services.
620,000 parents and child care providers have been helped through 20,000 community-based Ready To Learn workshops.
