MOLLY OF DENALI involves Alaska Native voices in all aspects of the production, both on screen and behind the scenes. Informational text, the underlying literacy curriculum, is integrated into the series\u2019 episodes, games, app, website, and assets for educators, families, and kids. Informational text\u2014oral, written, or visual text designed to inform\u2014is essential to navigating daily life, and it includes activities such as reading a map, critically engaging with websites, and posing questions to an expert.<\/p>\n<p>Two separate rigorous studies found that children from low-income households who were given MOLLY OF DENALI videos, digital games, and activities were better able to solve problems using informational text. Most children have access to stories and other narrative texts but little to no access to informational text. Yet informational text is a fundamental part of literacy. Comprehending informational text paves the way for future learning, particularly in social studies and the sciences, and success in life.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Key Findings<br \/><\/b>Two nine-week studies included 263 first-grade children from low-income households across the country. The study team randomly assigned each child to receive either a tablet loaded with MOLLY OF DENALI resources (treatment condition) or a tablet that blocked access to MOLLY OF DENALI resources (control condition).<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<ul>\n<li>\n          <b>Problem-solving:<\/b> Access to\u00a0MOLLY OF DENALI\u00a0digital resources\u00a0improved first-grade\u00a0children\u2019s ability to use informational text to solve problems, for example, choosing the right book or website to answer a question or using an index to find a topic in the book.<\/li>\n<li>\n          <b>High return for minimal time investment:<\/b> Children benefited from the\u00a0MOLLY OF DENALI\u00a0resources after using them for only about one hour per week, on average, over nine weeks\u2014similar to the time that children might access educational media at home. Many educational programs require more time or engagement before learning benefits are seen.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>\n          <b>More screen time = more learning:<\/b> Children who used\u00a0MOLLY OF DENALI\u00a0resources for longer periods showed greater learning benefits. Findings demonstrate that more exposure to high-quality educational content results in greater learning gains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n          <b>The power of replication: <\/b>The second study was a replication of the first study, adding further evidence of the impact of the MOLLY OF DENALI resources. Although replication is a critical part of the scientific process, few findings in education research are confirmed by conducting the same study a second time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p \/>\n<p>MOLLY OF DENALI has received much critical acclaim, including a Peabody Award, a Television Critics Award and a Kidscreen Award, and has a television reach of over 42 million people<sup>1 <\/sup>and over 450K users on PBS KIDS digital platforms each month.<sup>2<\/sup> Now MOLLY OF DENALI also has the backing of two studies that demonstrate children\u2019s learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The studies were commissioned as part of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and PBS Ready To Learn Initiative, with funding from the U.S. Department of Education. The Ready To Learn Initiative brings educational television and digital media resources to children ages 2\u20138 and aims to promote early science and literacy learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The studies, conducted during the pandemic, pioneered innovations in remote data collection with families across the nation, providing evidence that research remains possible when in-person visits are not an option. The MOLLY OF DENALI\u00a0content also provided a free resource to help develop children\u2019s literacy skills to families experiencing pandemic-related disruptions in schooling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever before has there been a study of children\u2019s media supporting young children\u2019s use of informational text to solve problems,\u201d said Shelley Pasnik, EDC senior vice president and principal investigator of the joint EDC-SRI research team. \u201cThat we were able to see positive results not once but twice during a year of great educational turmoil makes the case for providing all families with quality early learning opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis research shows the power of well-designed educational media,\u201d said Joy Lorenzo Kennedy, EDC\u2019s lead author. \u201cNot only does MOLLY OF DENALI have an engaging storyline and compelling cast of characters, it also embeds informational text in ways that improves children\u2019s learning outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire Christensen, lead author for SRI, added, \u201cThis research comes at a critical time when parents and educators are searching for guidance about how best to support children\u2019s learning when they can\u2019t be in the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This study is one of a series of Ready To Learn Initiative studies demonstrating the impact of educational media on children\u2019s learning.
