The Electric Company on PBS, check your local listings for times.
One of the few re-makes that works, The Electric Company is starting its new second season today. And it’s still good and still teaching phonics and other basic reading and thinking skills in a fun way.
There are no commercials, too, except for the support messages at the beginning and end of the program. But compared to what you find on Nick or some of the other kid channels, it’s acceptable.
Other than that, it’s a quiet day. After the show is over, put those new skills to work reading a book together.
