PBS Ready To Learn provides free, evidence-based educational resources to help teachers, caregivers and parents build early science and literacy skills in children ages 2 – 8. Introducing  children to key STEM concepts early better prepares them for school and boosts their long-term education opportunities. The site includes media-rich, multi-platform resources in the form of videos, games, apps and hands-on activities tied to favorite PBS Kids shows. The site is funded by a U.S. Department of Education grant that will enable new materials to be added in coming years.
