40 years of educating children – and it is a TV show!

November 12th, 2009

Since 1969, “Sesame Street” has been connecting people from nations all over the world by inspiring and educating children each day in its television broadcasts.

Independent academic researchers have conducted more than 1,000 studies, making “Sesame Street” the most researched TV show in history. A recent study found that teens who watched “Sesame Street” in pre-school had higher grades than those who did not.

40 years on and children and parents still tune in to learn about letters and numbers. Pretty impressive for a TV show that is based around literacy! My guess is that it is because it is fun. When learning is fun kids want to do it again and again.
