More than 25% of the cur- rent ninth graders will not graduate from high school. It is a problem that must be solved. Public media is joining the fight -- with a bold initiative, American Graduate. American Graduate: Let’s Make it Happen is a public media initiative supported by the Corportation for Public Broadcasting, Vegas PBS and other partners to help local communities address the dropout crisis. American Graduate builds on pub- lic media’s long-standing commitment to education by convening conversations, forming and strengthening partnerships between public television and radio stations along with local schools, businesses and community organizations to help students graduate. Vegas PBS is working with national experts, state leaders, Clark County School District (CCSD) Divisions, students, parents and teachers of target schools to develop meaningful messaging, educational resources, and professional development resources. A three-pronged approach has been developed to reach all levels of the community: Outreach in the Community, Production on-air and Online Resources.

Ready To Learn (RTL) is a project that helps children gain the skills they need to be successful in school and life. RTL brings together diverse community members - educators, parents, business leaders and volunteers - who strive to improve literacy and learning among children. The project has touched the lives of over 450,000 children in our community. 90% of RTL services are designed to meet the needs of Title I schools and disadvantaged families throughout southern Nevada. WHAT SKILLS DOES RTL TEACH? RTL focuses on improving the school-readiness of children ages 2-8 by targeting nine critical skill areas: literacy, problem-solving, affective skills, cognitive skills, math skills, motor skills, cultural appreciation, art and music appreciation, life skills and scientific curiosity. HOW DOES RTL PROMOTE LITERACY AND LEARNING? RTL employs these educational tools in achieving its goals: 1) PBS television broadcast of quality, nonviolent, commercial-free children’s programming including Arthur, Sesame Street, Super Why! and others. 2) RTL training workshops demonstrating how parents, teachers, librarians and childcare providers can extend children’s reading, writing and problem-solving skills by pairing programming with books. 3) Distribution of free books - in English and Spanish - to families participating in RTL workshops, as concrete vehicles for implementing literacy-enhancing strategies learned at the workshops. Over 450,000 books have been disbursed since its inception in 1997. 4) RTL website and apps: VegasPBS.org/RTL - educational site for teachers, parents, caregivers and children with information on companion websites and mobile device apps to extend TV
