Literacy experts have long recognized the link between children's exposure to language and their eventual reading success. The PBS KIDS Share a Story campaign aims to demonstrate how any caring adult can help raise a child's reading achievement.

"I want children to smile. It they are smiling, they will be relaxed.

If they are relaxed they will be confident. If they are confident, they will dare to be curious.

If they are curious, they will grow in understanding." Anne Wood, Co-Creator of Teletubbies

This show is aimed at 2-3 year olds

Uses Comedy to Stimulate Thinking Encourages Speech The Teletubbies' speech is based on the first words of children aged one year to 18 months. Encourages Listening Teletubbies "stop and listen" whenever they hear the narrator. Teaches through Repetition In Teletubbyland, things happen again and again, giving a child time to discover patterns of cause and effect, allowing a child to anticipate what will happen next. Promotes AffectionIncreases Confidence Builds Self-Esteem Children are more engaged by programs in which they can see themselves, whether by identifying with characters or with a situation. In Teletubbies, the inserts of real children doing real things allow young viewers to see children like themselves in a variety of experiences and situations. Encourages Movement Teletubbies love to dance, jump, stretch, roll and run. Watching them is not a passive activity - children like to join in. Teletubbies helps to promote body awareness and encourages children to participate in active play. Celebrates Individuality
