“Phoebe & Jay,” a new children’s series is coming to PBS Kids. The series is designed to support early literacy skills for children ages 3-5 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.
The new show, which follows the adventures of the curiously charismatic 6-year-old fraternal twins, Phoebe and Jay Yarber, highlights a variety of texts that preschoolers encounter in their daily lives–from labels and signs to posters and more–to foster their early literacy skills and help them navigate the world around them. Created by Genie Deez and Thy Than, “Phoebe & Jay” debuts on PBS KIDS February 2, 2026.
