  • Learn to Read - a show that was designed to combat adult illiteracy - as a little tot I learned to read from this show - and Reading Rainbow of course.

  • I remembered watching this programme when I was a kid - it usually aired in the mornings around 6a.m. - sometimes on weekends....

    There was also a science-themed programme that used to air on WNED-TV back then (WNED-TV also aired "learn to read"), but I couldn't remember what it was....

see all

  • How did someone who didn't learn to read read enough to be able to get a drivers permit? (the license, I get, because it's a driving test not a written one... but a permit? shouldn't you know to read enough to read traffic rules?)

  • Or maybe if they're retarded and forgot how to read?

  • 0:56 No checks or $100 bills. Now a full tank of gas is a $100 and rising. Just imagine if a station had you could not use $100 bills today.

  • BOYCOTT TUCSON AZ THEY KILLED MY DOG SUKI ON 1/5/2011

  • I totally remember this show!! I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. I remembered what it was, just from looking at yoru thumbnail image. "Please pay cashiere before pumping gas", lol. Brings backs some happy memories. I loved watching everything on PBS, back in the 80's.

  • well, here's the point, what if adults have amnesia and their brain doesn't work as good? then they might have to learn to read.

  • "Regular"

    "Please Pump Gas First"

    Those phrases are extinct at every gas station.

  • @harold3w I WANT THE "LEARN TO READ" DVD SET!!!

  • Wow, I don't think I've seen a full serve sign at a gas station since the late 90s!

    BTW, this is from Learn to Read, a show on PBS produced in the 80s designed for adults struggling with reading problems.

  • i watched this show when i was little. i was bored.
