TELEVISION - YOUR CHILD’S BRIDGE TO READING

1 H J n

“Where can I find a book about radiation?” an astonished school librarian was recently asked by a bright-eyed first grader who explained. “I heard about it on TV.” This is just one of the many proofs that the medium, despite the common cry, “It’s bad for children,” is actually the reverse. Children of all ages have learned that television can be a natural bridge to reading. A few days after Davy Crockett became a TV hero, almost every Davy Crockett book in libraries and bookstores was borrowed by kids or bought at their insistence by proud parents. Other similarly treated TV heroes include Wyatt Earp, Robin Hood, Peter Pan, the Wizard of Oz and (naturally) Cinderella. Libraries report that children come to them daily with similar questions generated by TV. Other typicals: “Do you have a book about astronauts? I saw them yesterday on a news program.” “Do you have a book about hospitals? That’s what I

like best on TV.” When does TV viewing start? At the surprisingly early age of three, when the average time is about one hour. By the primary grades the ante is upped threefold. With seventh graders, it’s four hours — and there are youngsters who spend as much as six hours before the screen! So —as is true with every other activity in which children engage — guidance is essential, if a maximum of benefit is to be derived. The younger the youngster, the more adult help needed.. Random viewing and solitary viewing almost certainly leads to the selection of undesirable programs. With older, children, it’s a good plan to apportion fixed times for meals, bedtime, homework and other obligations which TV viewing isn’t permitted to interrupt. But keep the schedule sufficiently flexible to allow for special programs too good to be missed. Other wisdoms: Don’t select programs impulsively. Instead, consult TV

recommended columns in newspapers and national magazines. Mark them on the family calendar after making sure that selections fall well within the apportioned time limits. If children have a voice in deciding on programs, compliance will be easier. Animated specials like the recent Charlie Brown show are proven “delighters.” This enchanting show attracted 40 million viewers. Now, the same team (writerproducer Lee Mendelson and animator* Bill Melendez) have put their heads together to bring Babar the Elephant to life. This children’s classic, published by Random House, has already delighted over a million picture book readers. Babar’s magic can be viewed when NBC airs its half-hour color special on Oct. 21st, sponsored by Viking Carpets. It should be included as too good to miss. Educational TV should not be overlooked, but never limit kids to educationals. They’re entitled to their quota of excitement! And many adult documentaries have a strong appeal for the pre-adolescent. Casual post-discussions of programs with the children help them develop good taste in their choices. Instead of ridiculing inferior programs, the wise parent asks diverting questions which evoke thoughtful answers. These help the youngster to weigh good and bad program points for himself. So keep your sights on this fact, when pro and conning TV viewing by the young: The benefits are real. The cons can be corrected.
