With just a small group of other PBS stations around the United States, we pilot PBS RTL resources to establish best practices using content adaptable to all kinds of learning environments. <\/p>\n<p>Through the Ready To Learn Initiative, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), PBS, and local PBS stations provide free, evidence-based educational resources that help teachers, caregivers, and parents build early science and literacy skills for America\u2019s children, especially those from low-income communities. This U.S. Department of Education-funded initiative introduces children to key STEM concepts early, better preparing them for school and boosting their long-term educational opportunities. <\/p>\n<p>PBS and CPB have partnered to develop media-rich, multi-platform media in the form of videos, games, apps, and hands-on activities by program, targeting students ages 2-8.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"pb-layout-column-right\"> <div class=\"pb-space-line\"><\/div><div><div class=\"pb-space-line\"><\/div><div class=\"pb-space pb-clear-fix\" style=\"height:30px;\"><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"pb-script-tag\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">jQuery(document).ready(function($){$(\"#pb_line_36347D8CF28739964937347F5B5A8122\").PBLayout({\"bg_parallax_speed\":\"30\",\"bg_parallax_enable\":\"0\",\"bg_parallax_mobile_enable\":\"0\"},0);});<\/script><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1733","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-17 20:49:13","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wfsu.org\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1733"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wfsu.org\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wfsu.org\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wfsu.org\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wfsu.org\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1733"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wfsu.org\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1733\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":963869,"href":"https:\/\/wfsu.org\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1733\/revisions\/963869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wfsu.org\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
