Fort Worth schools star on TV

Tune in this Labor Day weekend to Reading Rockets, a public TV show featuring a segment with two Fort Worth ISD elementary schools. A Chance to Read is hosted by actress Molly Ringwald (Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club) and is part of the award-winning series Reading Rockets: Launching Young Readers. Produced by WETA in Washington, D.C, the series looks at how children learn to read, why so many struggle and what we can do to help.

Watch our local kids and teachers in the "Untapped Potential" segment, airing on KERA on Sunday, Sept. 2 at 8:30 a.m. It examines students at Versia Williams ES and Westcliff ES. The “Untapped Potential” section of the program highlights how the study approaches teaching cognitively disabled students and shows how the students respond to the instruction.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!
