Reading Rockets: Launching Young Readers series episode #201

When children struggle with reading, they're not the only ones who feel frustrated and alone. Parents suffer, too, wondering what they can do and where they can turn for help. Through stories of children from Portland, Oregon, Huntingtown, Maryland, and Ann Arbor, Michigan, this episode - hosted by Al Roker - will help parents catch reading problems early on, find the right kind of support and identify good reading instruction.
