Dear Parents/Guardians:

The NYC Department of Education and The WNET Group have partnered on Let’s Learn NYC!, a new educational public television program featuring lessons for children in grades 3-K through second grade, which can supplement remote learning. Episodes will air on weekdays at 11:00AM EST on THIRTEEN. The episodes will also be available to livestream at thirteen.org/live.

Let’s Learn NYC! is hosted by DOE instructional leaders and coaches with expertise in teaching young learners. Programming offers age-appropriate curricular content that is aligned to standards and lessons for early childhood education and includes foundational reading skills, literacy, math, social studies, and science.

The series is being broadcast commercial-free on THIRTEEN, New York City’s PBS station, which is available for free to over 99 percent of city residents. The program is also available to live stream on the station’s website.

Following each broadcast, each episode and supplemental learning materials will also be made available here and at thirteen.org/letslearn.

We hope your child finds these lessons interesting!
