programs for children in Russia

[Trotter, Veronika]

Dear Rebecca,

Teleniania, a Russian TV channel for children, has been broadcasting 
programs round the clock for almost two years now. It can be accessed 
via subscription to Russian package on DirectTV. Teleniania broadcasts 
many educational programs on various topics: Russian language 
(“Bol’shie bukvy”), geography (“Chudo-puteshestviia”), physical 
education (“Pryg-skok komanda”), animal world (“Rebiatam o 
zveriatakh”), music (“Veselyie prazdniki”), art (“Davaite risovat’”) 
and others. A list of these programs with short descriptions can be 
found at: http://www.telenyanya.ru/programms/ (for a shorter guide but 
in English: http://www.telenyanya.ru/eng/highlights/). Our 
five-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoys most of them, as do I because, 
among other things, they help to maintain her knowledge of Russian and 
they also lend themselves to use in Russian language classes.
Also, a newer version of the old Soviet “ABVGDejka” is now available on 
DVD through RussianDVD distributors.
