To help kids learn how to read, all children’s TV shows should be captioned

Also, to help deaf kids enjoy tv, all children’s TV shows should be captioned.

It would also help remove the negative stigma that seems to surround putting on captions

To help immigrant kids learn the local language, all children’s TV should be captioned. I wasn’t really an immigrant per se but my English was bad and awkward until I was about 8 or 9. Before then watching TV with captions on helped me learn what normal conversations sound like and American phrases/idioms. Basically, I wasn’t really a native speaker until I learned English from captions.

I didn’t speak English a lot as a kid, but because of closed captioning, I’m able to run this blog with ease! ?
