Warning:Protracted
difficulty with learning to read can lead to cognitive
habits and emotional aversions that endanger the general
health of learning. Above
all else, do no harm.
Eventually we want every public television
station in the English language world to air the series. To help us generate the
most compelling case for why stations should air the series, please send us your
testimonials about our work, your impressions from reading our interviews or
seeing one of our live events and why you think its important for the series to be
widely seen.
