Cast of Multicultural Children Cha-cha into TV line-up in March

Learning A Second Language Just Got Easier with Help From the Education Channel 

Tampa, Florida (February, 2008) – There will be bilingual beats blasting out of television sets this Spring as the demand for bilingual children’s programming skyrockets. Bilingual music videos will add to language learning fun as children share catchy songs with viewers. Beth Butler, founder of the Boca Beth Program, BOCA the language amigo, and a multicultural cast of young children will cha-cha into homes across the Tampa Bay Area via The Education Channel starting March 1st. The program will engage children and family members as BOCA introduces Spanish and English words and phrases utilizing animals from around the world.

Studies have shown that learning another language before the age of six helps children read sooner, show advanced cognitive development, and score higher on math and verbal sections of standardized tests. And children learn more when it’s fun to do. That’s why this program is destined for success.

Today’s savvy parents will be thrilled to know that Lucy Griggs, Program Director for The Education Channel has the following to say about this unique children’s program:  “Boca Beth’s music videos offer our youngest viewers a fun, interactive introduction to another language (Spanish or English) while they watch a cute puppet and some adorable children sing, dance and have fun.  It’s such a simple, friendly and easy way to help children acquire new language skills.” 

Hoping to reach far beyond the Tampa Bay Area with the program’s fun and easy way of introducing Spanish and English together with music, Butler exclaims, “It’s such an amazing accomplishment to finally make it to TV. We have been sharing our products for years, and now we are finally getting this national attention.  We hope it enables more families to pick up a second language together.”

To even further the children’s interactive enjoyment, free resources for each segment will be available at http://www.BocaBeth.com.  “I love providing fellow teachers and moms with the tools they need to bring Spanish to life for their children.  Making these great resources accessible 24/7 and free is one way I can give back to the community in which I grew up,” Butler (aka Boca Beth) states.
