Series Goals

• Model positive social behavior
• Promote critical thinking and everyday problem solving
• Motivate children to read and write

The characters on ARTHUR grapple with the same issues that many children in the audience face: maintaining friendships, working things out with siblings, dealing with fears, and doing the right thing. The show can serve as a springboard for family conversations that invite kids to talk about similar situations in their lives.

Helping Kids Prepare for School

The series encourages children to hone their social and problem-solving skills. These skills, along with literacy skills modeled by the characters, help prepare young children for school and for life.
