Please could you check this? These is a body of an essay

Researchers had studied that children had had more than one hour watching TV had increased chances of attention deficit disorder by 10%, and in a study of 1000 children showed three hours TV a day made children more likely to have the disorder; however, it has been shown also that there are programs specially developed to the children that improve their brain power.

In addition, there are many educational programs TV for children in our country, for example Sesame Street that teach to children the knowledge of the alphabet, letter names, letter sounds and sight words even in other language. In a study teachers broke children up into different groups: there was a group of music-only exposure, video-only exposure, and a control grup which is music and video both put together. After the evaluation, they found that when testing the children after their viewing that the musical therapy group was the lowest on the learning scale when compared with the music and video put together. That shows that the television program promotes higher literacy and learning elements than just music alone.

thanks

"...and control group which is music.." should be "...and control group which was music..." - rayr72, Dec 12, 2011
gracias rayr, pero a mí me ayudaría mucho si las correcciones en lugar de ponerlas en cursiva las pones en negrita - maylegoas, Dec 12, 2011
