PBS Parents and Adventures from the Book of Virtues

PBS a mainstay of family learning pleasure and childhood memories has created a website just for parents to find learning activities the whole family can enjoy. Dr. Reader's recent favorite is "Adventures from the Book of Virtues" based on William Bennet's retelling of famous childhood stories. Dr. Reader highly recommends connecting family viewing of the cartoon adventures series with a family reading of Bennet's book to inspire conversation at the dinner table, on long car rides or at bedtime.

For even more family pleasure, consider interviewing your children about some the topics and issues explored in various stories and episodes. Tape record or keep a written record of your children's reflections and suprise them with these treasurable memories when they become adults.
