Public broadcasting is rooted in education: WOSU AM inaugurated the Ohio School of the Air in 1929, and WOSU TV’s FCC channel allocation at its inception in 1956 specified “educational use.” The station broadcast the Midwest Program on Airborne Television Instruction (MPATI) during most of the sixties and delivered Ohio State courses to university classrooms in the seventies. The historical ties to formal education aside, WOSU Public Media open a myriad of possibilities for discovery at every click and turn. The links on this page lead you by way of familiar and comfortable paths—from early learning to learning beyond the classroom walls. They are invitations to explore, to get caught up in the stories on wosu.org, on WOSU Radio and WOSU TV, and to learn something new or something heartening along the way.

Ready To Learn is the combination of broadcast programming and outreach services WOSU offers parents, families, caregivers and educators to prepare young children for success in school. Here's a list of Ready To Learn services:

Ready To Lead in Literacy is a four-workshop series offered by WOSU in 2006 with funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. CPB has funded the initiative in select communities to increase the literacy of children and to support public television leadership in fostering literacy as a core competency for its youngest constituents.

Ohio's Ready to Learn is a state-funded program targeted to home-based care providers for children birth to age three. Its companion program is Ready To Learn Early.
