#LeVarBurton #RightToRead #ReadingRainbow
MY children grew up on Reading Rainbow and learned how to read and learn thank you, Levar Burton PBS needs to do reruns of your show and also bring back new shows to put you back in production the children are in need of this.
Reruns is an excellent idea. Programs that work need to be followed.
Taught my disabled autistic son BASIC READING BEFORE entering kindergarten! This put him ahead of everyone in his class and age group
LeVar Burton's has been doing this since I was a kid
@nd looking great Knight add.
A lot of it is a classroom size problem. A teacher can use the best program, but if they have 50 kids in the room and 30 of them are struggling to read, teacher cannot help all of them. We absolutely need more physical rooms with more teachers and teacher assistants to be able to solve this
Well if we weren't giving a country that nobody is losing sleep over billions of dollars, maybe we could invest into our countries kids.
I can't think of a single school that would have 50 kids in an elementary school classroom. 30 is pretty large and yes, there are definitely schools where that's the case.
Also read books to your kids let them follow you reading HELPS ALOT
"A library card is a magical ticket, to imagination.. and education.." - Levar Burton
I thought I wasn't as smart as other kids and that I just wasn't patient enough with reading or school work. It turned out I just needed glasses. I didn't get my first pair until midway through high school when someone from outside my home intervened and took me to the eye doctor. I often wonder how many other children go through similar struggles, where their medical needs aren't being met and their education is impacted because of it.
Schools should invest more in having reading specialists, in addition to the classroom teacher, for students who are struggling. Parents/guardians need to get involved. School libraries can loan books to students to read at home. Also have more after-school reading clubs. It can be done, but the school system cannot do it all. There has to be the school-home-community partnership.
Schools can do only so much. Parents need to read with their kids, too.
Levar is a good man.
I love reading for self instruction as well as for recreation partially because of him but more importantly because of my parents. In the same way there are apathetic teachers (granted, I can’t say I blame them for being underpaid and under appreciated) there are apathetic parents. Parents are children’s first teachers and they need to instill a desire to learn in them. If not, kindergarten comes around and they’ve already decided they don’t want to learn.
Phonics....straight forward teaching and stop rushing the kids.
I love reading rainbow. I used to wait for it to come on.
It's so important!
While this is incredibly wonderful, the issue itself is a bit insane. With all the resources, mental capacity and funding available in America a full education should never be an issue! Books are being banned all across the country, yet we have an untold number of children and adults who do not have the skills to read and comprehend them! 😓📚
I wish I was Levar Burton
We have another documentary coming up too
The parents must be seen reading by their children. "do as I do, Not as I say"
Mother's should be "READING"to that child when the baby is in the womb!
The 2023 article "Can it be Possible that Something as Basic as Reading is Going into Decline?" may be of interest.
I'm sure that this is nothing that hiring tens of thousands more managers and superintendents into the school system can't fix.
Cheap, uninformed cynicism.
+1
Can't stop the class progress to learn the slow ones . Need to work with them at home.
I work in the education field. You should probably rephrase this so you don't get destroyed in the comments. Classrooms are legally obligated to assist and accommodate children who are struggling. A lot of families don't know how to teach their children, the subjects they learn at school.
Watch the documentary before commenting on this. This has NOTHING to do with stopping the class for the "slow ones" to catch up. (In fact, it's free to watch on February 1st, 2024 - just Google it.) Most public schools are using a reading curriculum that doesn't work for most kids - and it's even being done deliberately in many schools.
This is what happens when you lower the bar for diversity. Can’t hurt anyone’s feelings by telling them their kids are not excelling. It’s the trophy for showing up age.
Please watch the documentary before commenting something like this. Regardless of your political affiliation, beliefs, etc - it's well worth your time. The documentary points out horrible problems in the American public education system.
What..Is he a Decent of a white man too 🤣 😂.. Angela Davis did... Creater of The BLM and was part of the Black Panther..😆😆
The problem is with kids having parents that have no right being a parent. There should be basic crtitera and a minimum level of at least a college education before someone is allowed to raise a child.
Or classes that expecting parents should have to complete
And y'all wanna teach these same kids gender theory GTFOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was a dumb student and I could at least read. Can 37% of kids really not read?
