WLJT's
Reading
Rangers
(with Rocky T)

WLJT’s Education & Outreach Department conducts seminars and workshops throughout West Tennessee teaching parents and educators how to help children get ready-to-learn.

With free books for the kids - parents, teachers and caregivers are taught how to open the world of reading to their children. They are provided with tools they
can use in their homes and classrooms to help children improve their reading skills.

WLJT has given away thousands of books to West Tennessee kids through scores of events and personal visits.

Countdown To Kindergarten

Some children, and their parents, come to Kindergarten without any idea of what is expected. WLJT is tackling that problem with a step-by-step Kindergarten “how to.”

Educators and other experts join us to explain what children and parents should know and what they should expect when it’s time for Kindergarten.  Immunizations, school supplies, appropriate dress, conduct, and even a school bus tour and safety lesson make up just a portion of the program ’s curriculum.

 

If you would like to schedule a Countdown To Kindergarten in your community, contact WLJT's Sue Lasky at
731-881-7561 or slasky@utm.edu

Let us help you
"Get Ready To Learn"


Zoom Bash  





ZOOM Bash is a traveling “mini children’s museum” for kids Kindergarten through sixth grade. Through a variety of “hands-on” stations, we introduce the kids to principles of engineering, optical illusions, force and energy, fluids, patterns, sound, and more. 

Do you know how rockets fly?
Do you know how many drops of water can sit on a penny?
Can you make a gum drop dome?
How many cups can you stack in a tower?
Can you make a strong marshmallow tower?

Each “station” is handled by a volunteer who helps the kids perform the various experiments and projects - and helps them understand the principles involved.

Educational? - yes..... Fun? - ABSOLUTELY!!!
