Elementary school children, who are unprepared for many different media information starting with TV, need media literacy education. We created the media literacy teaching materials (video & guidebook), "TV Mysteries: Ukkie Goes Behind the Scenes!," which focuses on TV reality vs. fantasy. The purpose of this project was to examine the effectiveness of the curricular materials. The project was a piece of quasi-experimental research with pretest-posttest control/comparison group design for first graders in a public elementary school. We analyzed the results of the comprehensive "Television reality test." The experimental group presented significantly higher posttest scores than did children in the control group. The experimental group developed media literacy. The result also reveals the material and lesson never destroy children's believes of Santa fantasy.
