About Ready to Learn (RTL)
The Ready To Learn project is all about getting children excited to learn. Organizations in your community, like the library, Community Action, and the school district, have partnered with your local PBS station, PBS Wisconsin, to bring exciting educational programming to your neighborhood!
Programs will help your child build vital skills to succeed in school and life, including everyday literacy, critical thinking, and collaboration — and will introduce them to career options in fun, hands-on ways.
Learn about upcoming events below. You and your whole family are welcome to attend. There are often free books and free meals at our family events. Let’s learn together!
