New PBS KIDS Series “Phoebe & Jay" Launches Feb. 2

Find upcoming airdates and how to stream this new series supporting early literacy!

By Hazel McLaughlin

SERIES PREMIERE: FEBRUARY 2

What's Phoebe & Jay about?
This new animated series for kids ages 3-5 is designed to support early literacy skills for preschoolers by showcasing the various kinds of texts they see in their everyday lives—from signs and posters to labels and movie tickets—helping them understand, navigate, and participate in the world around them.

“Every year, 40% of children enter kindergarten with literacy skills one to three years behind their grade level, creating a difficult gap for them to overcome,” said Sara DeWitt, Senior Vice President and General Manager, PBS KIDS. “We hope that PHOEBE & JAY’s relatable characters, fun, family-centered stories, and foundational curriculum will help equip young viewers nationwide with the everyday literacy skills they need to find success in school and in life.”

How can I stream Phoebe & Jay?
All episodes of Phoebe & Jay will be available to stream on demand from pbskids.org and the free PBS KIDS App, available on Apple, Google, and Android devices as well as on the Amazon app store.
