Authors of a new book that helps parents advocate for children struggling in school will be interviewed on the Connecticut Newsmakers Show on March 12, 2006.
March 6, 2006 (Press Release) --
Hartford, CT March 6, 2006-- Authors of the new book, My Child’s Not Learning to Read in School! What Can I Do?, educator Christine Hale, MEd and researcher Zelig Dolinsky, PhD will be interviewed by Tom Monahan of Channel 30, WVIT, on the Connecticut Newsmakers show, March 12, 2006. They will discuss parents’ options when their child is struggling to read and the school is unresponsive to input or unaware that there is a problem. This is critical information in this country where 40% of children read below their grade level.
Parents whose children are struggling in school need this information. Schools often do not respond effectively to some children’s learning problems. Their parents experience frustration trying to get the school to address their child’s needs successfully. One parent quoted in the book said, “Don’t assume that the school is right. People think the school staff are the experts, but the system has a limited budget and they may not be willing to do what’s right for your child.” This book addresses parents’ concerns by providing all the inside information parents need to know about their child’s problem, schools’ possible responses, and how to deal with various situations that arise in the advocacy process. Nancy Davis, an educator and journalist from Bloomfield, CT, noted that the book is “A valuable resource for anyone interested in children and their diverse patterns of learning.”
Monahan of the Connecticut Newsmakers show will interview Hale and Dolinsky about their book and their goals to improve overall reading instruction in the schools and educate parents in how to advocate for their children who have learning difficulties. The show will air Sunday, March 12, 2006. Check your local listings. For more information: www.whatcanido.info or contact Christine Hale, christine_k_hale@yahoo.com; 860-233-6603.
