Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hello, LD OnLine is excited to let you know about a new television show about learning disabilities that was produced by our sister site, ReadingRockets.org. This Sunday PBS stations in Washington, D.C., and New York City will be premiering the latest episode of " Reading Rockets: Launching Young Readers " an award-winning television series. http://pbsmail.org/ct/07qHYS91vRjf/launching " Reading and the Brain, " with host Henry Winkler, explores how brain scientists in Houston, Chicago, Louisville, D.C., and Toronto are working to solve the puzzle of why some children struggle to read. New research shows that the answer may lie in how a child's brain is wired from birth. And it turns out that good teaching can change that wiring. http://pbsmail.org/ct/01qHYS91vRj4/readingandthebrain Tune in for a look at some exciting new findings and visit with some of the country's top neuroscientists, like Dr. Papanicolaou and Dr. Nina Kraus.
