Admongo - Learn to decode and understand ads

Admongo (www.admongo.gov) is the FTC's new advertising literacycampaign. Every day, kids are exposed to advertising - not just on TV and online, but on buses, buildings, and even inside their classrooms. Many ads target kids ages 8-12. Given what kids see and hear around them, it's important that they learn how to decode and understand ads.

To help, the FTC created a campaign to teach kids about advertising, Thecore of the campaign is a fun (and visually fabulous!) website. Learn who is responsible for the ad, what the ad actually says, and what the ad wants you to do.
