Sub-Group 1 - Publications and Media

Since 1921, Bank Street has published materials to improve the quality of life for children and families. In 1950, publication of the Little Golden Books began. The Bank Street Readers, published in 1965, set a new standard as the first multi-racial, urban-oriented readers. By 1982, Bank Street broadened its scope of publications to include the Bank Street Writer, the first word-processing software package designed especially for children. Bank Street has also participated in the production of television programming for children on PBS.
