The Vegas PBS Ready To Learn Mission

Ready To Learn (RTL) is a PBS project that helps children ages 0-8 gain the skills — especially literacy — which they need to be successful in school and life. Vegas PBS RTL focuses approximately 90% of its outreach efforts on Clark County School District (CCSD) Title I schools. The project employs four tools in executing its mission:

PBS television broadcast of quality children's shows and messages

Companion web sites extending the broadcasts' instructional messages

RTL training workshops demonstrating how caregivers can use home media to help children learn outside the school day

Distribution of free books— in English and Spanish — to disadvantaged/low income families throughout Southern Nevada to build at-home libraries
