Students

Television teaches, and New York State’s public broadcasting stations offer a variety of interactive programming and online content designed to help children from pre-K through grade 12 learn.  Age-appropriate, noncommercial programs like Dragon Tales and Sesame Street not only teach pre-school literacy, mathematics and science skills but also help children learn to share, to take risks, and to become self-reliant.
