  • The good news is, watching developmentally appropriate programming with your children can have many positive benefits (bonding between caregiver and child, the introduction of new vocabulary words, exploring new places together, etc.). Thankfully, there are lots of exceptional television shows for young children that are fun and engaging and that can help children build their early literacy skills along the way.

  • First, children watch a lot of TV – on average four hours a day, which turns out to be more time than they spend in school each year.

      Kids relax too. There usually comes a point in the day where they've just ran around in circles for far too long and their little bodies can't handle anymore physical excitment, and they need to unplug.

      TVs aren't an uncommon thing to have in a home. When I was growing up, living in a small apartment, with 2 loving parents who didn't make a whole lot of income, I had a TV in my house. Barney and Thomas were on every single day. According to www.neilson.com, there's an estimated 116.3 million American homes with telivisons.
  • Second, having print and reading materials at home helps kids learn to read. And, the more they read, the better they read. Unfortunately, more than 30% of city children live in poor households which tend to have few books or reading materials.  One study found that poor families had, on average, less than one book per household.

      I'm pretty spoiled. I have at least 600 comic book in my collection, at least 100 hundred Nat Geo's everything that Tolkien wrote ever, and all 5 A Song of Ice and Fire books (also all of my dad's books in his collection). But do you? I mean if you do that's pretty awesome and we should be besties. But me and you compared to thousands of other people? The average home does not have all of these books to read from. As Ms. Jane said, they maybe have one book. But remember there is a large amount of homes with televsions in them.
  • The third reason is that TVs must all have the technology to show captions and most programs and movies must have written transcripts. So, if you turn on your TV’s captioning feature, the words that are spoken – and many of the sounds as well – will appear in writing at the bottom of your screen

      Preach! So the ability to help kids read and spell CAN be acheived through a televison? I loved having the captions on as a kid. I think I turned them on so that my Irish mother wouldn't release her fury on me fore having the TV turned up too loud. It honestly did have a positive outcome on me. It made me a faster reader and a better speller. This lasted to when I was in middle school and I for some reason just finally stopped doing it.

    So this article focuses on a few different things. One of them however is not how television HAS improved on literacy skills. The article focus on a few over looked things like: 1. How common televisions are in a home. 2. The average amount of other resources that are in a home, that can be used to help improve literacy skills. 3. The average amount of televisions in a home versus the average amount of other literacy improving resources in a home. 4. How Television CAN help improve Literacy Skills in such a mind blowing, basic way, that you may ask yourself why "Why haven't people been doing this all along?"

  • his study examined the cognitive effects of an educational early childhood television program in Turkey that was designed to enhance basic cognitive skills and socio-emotional development of 5-year-old children. The program targeted children with low socioeconomic status who had limited access to formal preschool education.
  • The program was screened for a period of 13 weeks and was evaluated with an experimental design, with the addition of a natural observation group. Findings indicated that the program functioned as an early educational intervention for those children who had moderate exposure to it.
  • Furthermore, compensatory effects were found, such that those children who had low levels of skills prior to the viewing of the program benefited more than their skilled peers.
