Making the Most of Screen Time
Watching shows and videos with your child(ren) can be helpful for their emotional and academic development. Viewing together or “co-viewing” helps us see and hear what our children see and hear.
Ready Set Music!
Helping children use words to describe what is happening inside them is an important part of Social and Emotional Learning. These words and messages can be taught and reinforced through music.
K-2 STEM Resources
The WITF Education Team has carefully curated K-2 STEM resources to enhance learning. These supplemental resources align to PA STEELS standards and include videos, extension activities, games, and songs.
Pre-K through Elementary
PBS KIDS Apps
These apps are free and aligned to learning goals for literacy, STEM, Social Studies and Social Emotional Learning. Once they are downloaded, most of the apps do not require
an internet connection.
PBS KIDS for Parents
Between birth and age five, 90 percent of a child’s brain develops. During these early years, it’s critical to build the foundational cognitive and social-emotional skills that kids need to be successful lifelong learners. That’s why PBS KIDS is dedicated to offering free access to media content and community-based experiences that support learning for young children.
Meet The Helpers
MEET THE HELPERS is a public media initiative designed to introduce children to community helpers and practice emergency preparedness. The information is presented through engaging videos and downloadable emergency plans to use at home.
