Read, View & Do!

Young children learn by doing—by interacting with the people and objects around them. To learn, they need to experience things again and again. They need to play, to manipulate, to group and repeat.

To get the most from the TV you and your children watch, create a learning triangle. Our learning triangle is TV that teaches + storybooks + activities— all related to one theme or skill. The learning triangle can follow any order, at any time!

A KCPT workshop is a substantive training intended to help adults extend the educational value of PBS children's programming using the Learning Triangle. (Spanish Version).
For example,

• View: participants might watch a PBS KIDS program clip about geometric shapes
• Read: share a storybook about shapes a child might see in daily life
• Do: use cookie cutters to make shapes with play dough
