Who Can TV Captions Help?
The ability to read is a fundamental skill. Opening up closed TV captions can help anyone who wants to learn to read.
TV captions can help anyone who needs practice seeing the printed words while hearing them spoken.
For those who can’t yet read or don’t read well, TV captions can be a vital tool for learning to read or improving reading fluency.
Captions on TV can be helpful to learners:
 who are beginners or only 2 years old or
who are 9 but are still struggling or
who have dropped out of school or
who have a disability that keeps them from attending classes or
who speak a native language other than English.
Apart from the beginning or struggling learners themselves, family, friends, caretakers, colleagues and teachers, stakeholders one and all, can open TV captions to release the precious educational capacity that exists when TV captions read the story.
If you have learners in your home, turn on TV captions for them.
