The US Department of Education (ED) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)
hosted a Ready To Learn summit titled "A Child's Life: Learning, Literacy
and the Role of the Media," aiming to examine the impact of media on children's
literacy skills. The invitation-only event offered participants an opportunity
to learn about and exchange information on current research, insights and
future projections. The seminar also laid a foundation to forge new partnerships
among the public broadcasting, reading research, technology and entertainment
fields. Summit attendees heard from nationally renowned education experts
who considered how media — television, video games, computers and the
Internet — shape and influence children's abilities to process and retain
information in their preschool and early elementary years.
