With schools relying on distance-learning to safely educate children, KET continues to create educational resources that help teachers and caregivers supplement their children’s coursework with high-quality content from PBS KIDS and PBS LearningMedia. 

KET’s educational resources, which increased in use by more than 400 percent during the spring semester, are aligned to state and national standards and include contextualized support materials to help them be easily integrated into the virtual classroom. 

KET offers learning materials for every age group:
