This year, PBS and WNED-TV in Buffalo/Toronto are partnering to launch the PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest, a national-local contest designed to promote the advancement of children’s reading skills through hands-on, active learning. WVPT is conducting this newly revised contest throughout the station’s service area. Traditionally, the contest has been open to children in grades K-3. Virginia PBS stations are including students in grades 4 and 5 this year. Although they will not be able to participate nationally, they will be judged and recognized locally. Click here for entry form and contest guidelines and rules.

This Month's ITV Newsletter Is Now Available Online. Featured are information and resources on WVPT's instructional videos being broadcast and education services that assist teachers with use of videos & technologies.

The mission of the International Children's Digital Library Foundation (ICDL Foundation) is to support the world's children in becoming effective members of the global community--who exhibit tolerance and respect for diverse cultures, languages and ideas--by making the best in children's literature available online free of charge.
