Community Review for PBS Kids
My Take
PBS Kids Go is great if you tell your kids which "Shows" to play, and if you supervise them. But if you give them a choice of anything on PBS Kids, they will all gravitate to Wild Kratts where they kick-box with kangaroos. Really, within 5 minutes every kid in the room is playing on Wild Kratts, which involves nothing except hitting the space bar and arrow keys.
How I Use It
I mostly use it with Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders. I tell them specifically which "Shows" they can play. I usually point them directly to Curious George, Sid the Science Kid, Read Between the Lions, or Super Why.
