NHPTV Ready to Learn Enhance Learning with the Learning Triangle Enhance Learning with the Learning Triangle We all have different learning styles: Visual (what we see) Auditory (what we hear) Tactile/kinesthetic (what we feel or do) The VIEW-READ-DO Learning Triangle combines all three by using related video, books, and activities about any theme or subject. The first step is to videotape children’s programs so that you can: preview; show at your convenience; watch over and over; and use as an effective teaching and learning tool by being able to cue, pause or stop, fast forward and rewind the tape. You can show specific short segments, discuss with children what they see, have them predict what might come next, explain new vocabulary words, and relate to a child’s own experiences. Visit www.nhptv.org/programs.schedule.asp for program schedule and a brief description of episode content and focus. Then, find age-appropriate books to read aloud and plan activites for children to do--draw pictures, act out or retell the story, projects, field trips. Add the Learning Triangle to your teaching toolbox.

You Are Special Doesn't Mean You Are Perfect from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood Article for Parents (www.pbskids.org/rogers/parentsteachers) “When you say to your child, ‘You're a terrific kid!’ or ‘I love you,’ that's one way you're helping your child feel good about him or herself. Children need to know they are special in their parents' eyes. But ‘You are special’ doesn't mean ‘You are perfect.’ We all make mistakes, whether we're children or adults. No one is perfect. Of course, it's much easier to learn basic things like that in the context of a warm, loving family. When children know they are loved, they appreciate that they, as well as everyone else, have weaknesses as well as strengths. And, isn't that the message we want for our children, ‘You are special...and so is everyone else in the world.’ * Spend some time in the day, listening and talking with your child. Just being there to listen helps your child feel valuable. Bedtime can be such an important time for that kind of caring conversation. * Help your child find "jobs" to do around the house. Even small jobs, like setting the table by putting out spoons or napkins or sorting socks in the laundry, can help a child feel important and needed. * Some families, around the dinner table, ask each one (including parents), questions like: What was the best thing about your day? What was the worst thing about your day? What did you do to help someone today? What did someone do to help you?” Summer Reading Adventures www.readingrockets.org BUILDING BLOCKS Visit the Reading Rockets web site for 10 Weeks of Summer Reading Adveantures for OF LITERACY You and Your Kids and engaged in reading to keep and childrenlearning. interested Topics for a wide range of activities for children of all ages Language include: Speaking (AND listening), singing, rhyming, word 1.

  • A Hidden Culture Anne Wood on How Art Helps Young Children Develop
    Perspectives on the value of art and culture Children and the Arts: A Hidden Culture Anne Wood on how art helps young children develop READ ON Anne Wood Back Next 02 Anne Wood is one of the most influential figures in children’s television. Born in Spennymoor, County Durham, she grew up in the mining community of Tudhoe Colliery then began a career as a secondary school teacher. She was a leading voice for children’s literature before launching a career in broadcasting. In 1984, she formed Ragdoll Productions, known for such television series as Rosie & Jim, Tots TV, Brum, In the Night Garden, Twirlywoos – and Teletubbies. She is the founder of The Ragdoll Foundation (www.ragdollfoundation.org.uk), which aims to provide a space for alternative thinking, voices and practices, to seek new creative solutions and partners, and to collaborate and share knowledge. It is currently leading the Save Kids’ Content UK campaign (www.savekidscontent.org.uk), which has the particular objective of safeguarding the production of UK- originated television for children. As a cultural notion, childhood emerged in western society somewhere around the 1850s and lasted until somewhere around the 1950s when the cult of the teenager first made itself felt in the USA, and spread around the world. Now, in the 21st century, we hear children are ‘growing up too fast’ or that ‘childhood is lost’. It is not that children are biologically changing. Although many may be taller, more robust and have greater life expectancy than previous generations, essentially children are no different. They have the same need to explore life and navigate it successfully, which has always been central to humanity.

    SEX ON TV 2005 A KAISER FAMILY FOUNDatION REPORT DALE KUNKEL, PH.D., KEREN EYAL, PH.D., KELI FINNERTY, ERICA BIELY, & EdWARD DONNERSTEIN, PH.D. UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA NOVEMBER 2005 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors wish to convey their appreciation and gratitude to a number of individuals who have made significant contributions to this study. At the University of Arizona, Brian Atkinson served as our technology director, and expertly supervised the project’s transition to the digital environment, which required all new equipment for recording, storage, and playback of over 1000 programs. Nic Schoenfeld managed the collection of the program sample adeptly, and Zhongxiang (Edward) Xia devised a sophisticated software interface to track the status of each show from its initial recording to the completion of its coding and analysis. Carey Willets accomplished all administrative and financial aspects of the project helpfully and efficiently. And finally, Priya Raman provided valuable assistance writing many of the scene examples included in the report as illustrations of key content categories. We thank all of them for their efforts and generous contributions. At the Kaiser Family Foundation, Vicky Rideout has been the leader of this project since its inception. This project now ranks as one of the longest-running studies in the realm of media and social effects research, its value growing with each replication that affords stable and precise comparisons of industry trends over time. We greatly appreciate Vicky’s leadership, and the foundation’s continued participation in this research effort.W e also thank Theresa Boston for her excellent supervision of the final report document throughout the publication process.
