Is TV Bad for Babies?

The jury is in. Television viewing by babies doesn't help but
doesn't harm their language and motor skills. A recent study
published in Pediatrics showed that TV viewing from birth to age
2 was not significantly associated with language and motor
skills at age 3. The study was conducted by a group of
researchers from Harvard Medical School.

Do you take this as good news or bad? Some will look at this
report and say, "See? TV does not make children smarter! I knew
it wasn't good." Others may say, "See? TV does not harm children
. It's perfectly fine."

Ways to Encourage Emergent Literacy

May is Get Caught Reading Month, a nationwide campaign to remind
people of all ages how fun it is to read. The event is sponsored
by the Association of American Publishers, and has won the
support of celebrities as well as teachers and librarians. The
website  [http://www.getcaughtreading.org] lists interesting
literacy facts like this one: "Children who have not developed
some basic literacy skills by the time they enter school are
three to four times more likely to drop out in later years."

Kindergarteners Don't Play Enough

Time for play in most public kindergartens appears to be
dwindling, replaced by lengthy lessons and standardized testing,
say the results of three new studies released by the Alliance
for Childhood. From the 268 full-day kindergarten classrooms
studied, classic play materials like blocks, sand-and-water
tables and props for dramatic play had largely disappeared.

Researchers from UCLA, Long Island University and Sarah Lawrence
College in New York conducted the studies. Their findings are
documented in the report, "Crisis in the Kindergarten: Why
Children Need to Play in School," which can be found at
[http://www.allianceforchildhood.org].
