【题目】 Doctors recommend that kids spend most of their time being active outdoors and playing with their peers. However, that doesn't mean TV has to be taken out of the picture. There are several educational TV shows that help your children learn before and after they enter school. Take a look at these four TV shows that your kids should watch.

	1.Sesame Street As one of the longest children’s shows on TV, Sesame Street is still a favorite with parents. It teaches kids about sharing, being a good friend, and other important values. Additionally, words and letters are introduced through fun scenes and songs with favorite characters like Elmo, Big Bird, Zoey, and Cookie Monster. You probably enjoy watching this show as a kid, and your children can too. Sesame Street has been aired on PBS since 1969.

Well, Super Why ! has four of them: Alpha Pig with Alphabet Power; Princess Presto with Spelling Power; Wonder Red with Word Power; and Super Why with the Power to Read. This TV show teaches kids how to put letters together to make words and how to pronounce words when reading. It's great for kids- from the preschool to second grade. Super Why! has been aired on PBS and PBS Kids Sprout since 2008.
	3. Thomas and Friends Based on the railway series books by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. Thomas and Friends follows the story of locomotive（火车头） friends who live on Sodor Island.
