PBS KIDS and PBS LearningMedia are rolling out new activities, resources and content this summer, including new one-hour specials of Molly of Denali<\/em> and Wild Kratts<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Molly of Denali: Molly and the Great One\u00a0<\/em>will see Molly\u00a0learn about her Grandpa Nat\u2019s dream to climb to the top of Denali in honor of the first person to do so. Inspired, Molly tries to persuade Grandpa and her dad to make the climb\u2014and to let her join them. The special will air\u00a0on June 7.<\/p>\n

Wild Kratts: Cats and Dogs<\/em>, which premieres on July 12, will follow\u00a0Chris and Martin as they observe wild cats and dogs interacting with each other\u00a0on the African savannah.<\/p>\n

Both specials will also be available to stream on PBS KIDS digital platforms following their broadcast premiere.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a year unlike any other, we recognize that parents and kids are eager to celebrate the potential for learning and fun that each summer day brings,\u201d said Lesli Rotenberg, chief programming executive and general manager of children\u2019s media and education at PBS. \u201cThrough PBS\u2019s wealth of flexible, grab-and-go resources, families can approach the upcoming summer months in any way they choose, chasing kids\u2019 curiosities and seeking out new discoveries from the living room to the park, and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beginning June 4, the PBS Kids 24\/7 channel will feature PBS KIDS Family Night every weekend for themed programming, including nature, space, family traditions, arts, friends and neighbors, water, animals, storytelling and routines. Each of these ten themes was selected to support key learning areas identified by educators and experts and curated to provide flexible play and learn opportunities. Supplemental resources and games will be sent weekly through the PBS KIDS for Parents newsletter.<\/p>\n

Kids can also find curated game collections on pbskids.org and video playlists on the PBS KIDS Video app and the PBS KIDS YouTube channel. PBS KIDS Read-Alongs will continue this summer on PBS KIDS\u2019 Facebook and YouTube.<\/p>\n

Further, PBS LearningMedia provides updated collections, including Summer Camp collection (PreK-5); Summer Learning collection (Grades 6-12); Teacher Planning Kits (Grades PreK-12); and Self-Paced Professional Learning (Grades PreK-2).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
