Among the subjects taught are Filipino and English with Knowledge Channel shows "Wikaharian" and "Ready, Set, Read." Produced under the foundation's "Basa Bilang" advocacy, these programs aim to help young students to improve their foundational skills in literacy. Other show schedules are available on Knowledge Channel's official Facebook page (facebook.com/KnowledgeChannel).
