Dear Friend,
Our sister site, Reading Rockets, has some big news - their latest PBS
program on reading is premiering this weekend on WETA TV 26!
A Chance to Read, with Molly Ringwald
Saturday, September 1, at 5:30 p.m.
Sunday, September 2, at 6 p.m.
WETA TV 26
Washington, D.C.
If you don't live in the Washington, D.C., area, please check our
broadcast schedule to find out when the show will be airing in your
neighborhood. Right now we've got airdates listed for New York, North
Carolina, New Mexico, South Dakota, New Hampshire, and more. The
schedule is updated every Monday by 11 a.m., so please check back
regularly for the most current information.
It gets better, though - if you can't stand the suspense, you can
watch the whole show right now! Just visit us online. The website also
offers helpful resources including articles and books about reading
and disabilities, and a full show transcript.
No matter how you watch it, we hope you enjoy A Chance to Read. We're
really thrilled to have Molly Ringwald host this look at the reading
challenges facing kids with disabilities and what schools across the
country are doing to help them find success. For generations, many
people assumed that children with disabilities would never learn to
read - what Dr. Patricia Mathes calls "assumicide." In New Mexico,
Minnesota, Georgia, and Texas, we'll meet the amazing kids, parents,
researchers, and teachers who are working to eliminate "assumicide"
and give every child a chance to read.
We hope you'll join us.
All the best from the ReadingRockets.org, LDOnLine.org,
