Although television should limited for kids (and everyone) in the summertime, there are some really good shows to choose from these days while trying to beat the summer heat.

Toddlers-1^st grade:

* Sesame Street: The show seems to have done away with a lot of the “street conversations” by all the people that lived in the neighborhood, but it’s still a good show for reinforcing alphabet letters, reading, rhyming, numbers, and music.

Preschool-Young elementary students:

* Mister Rogers: Sadly, Mr. Rogers has passed on, but is show lives on. His thoughtful, down—to—earth, yet respectful conversational style with kids is rarity these days.

Middle School (Junior High) through adulthood:

* The History Channel: Parents will want to check out programming ahead of time for content, but their documentaries are informative and interesting.

* Biographies: As in those seen on A&E (not the celebrity channels)
