In 2004, Thirteen/WNET founded the Reading Partnership Project (RPP) in partnership with six schools in high-need districts on Long Island as a literacy-based initiative funded by the Long Island Community Foundation's Horace and Amy Hagedorn Fund. Using Ready To Learn methodology, kindergarten teachers and parent coordinators discovered how PBS children's programming and resources can be used to develop fun and innovative lesson plans that enhance literacy. RPP, now entering its third year, continues to follow the cohort of students at the selected schools as they enter second grade, providing RTL training for their teachers and parents, along with books, educational videos, lesson plans, and other support materials.
Through RPP, teachers learn how to develop and use media rich lessons in their classroom. As a means of strengthening the school-home connection and reinforcing classroom curriculum, parent coordinators offer parents a series of workshops which highlight the View-Read-Do learning triangle and focus on implementing it in the home. Educators receive valuable resources to use in the classroom, and books are distributed to participating families to help them build a home library of high-quality children's literature, available in English and in Spanish.
Participating schools include Lido and West Elementary Schools in the Long Beach School District; Bay and River Elementary Schools in the Patchogue-Medford School District; Roanoke Avenue Elementary School in the Riverhead School District; and Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary School in the William Floyd School District.
