A new PBS show, "Toddling Toward Reading," outlines the critical importance of language development and the crucial years before kindergarten.

One show segment focuses on Avery, a preschooler who has Down syndrome, and how her language skills have improved in an inclusion model preschool.

"Toddling Toward Reading," in many markets, will be paired with "A Chance to Read," another episode in the "Reading Rockets: Launching Young Readers" series that focuses on literacy programs for students with various physical or learning challenges.

These two episodes will air on PBS stations across the country beginning in September (local listings vary). To find out more or to watch the shows online, click here.

Sincerely,
