VCR Alert for Arthur Dyslexia Episode

Saw this on a parents board and know that we definately will be watching. It is scheduled for Nov 5th on our local station. My 7yo loves Arthur so this is a great forum for her to learn a little more about her disability.

Arthur #607
"The Boy with His Head in the Clouds"
All the kids know that George is smart -- so why does he sometimes have trouble reading and writing? With a little help from others with dyslexia like Principal Haney ... and Leonardo DiVinci! ... George and the gang discover that learning happens in all different ways.

Thanks for sharing. I really like Arthur (OK, my kids are too old, but my oldest DD is probably going to major in illustration in college).
Here is a link to the Arthur schedules on National Public Television. (http://pbskids.org/arthur/grownups/tv/). you have to find your local station, but you should be able to find when that episode will air on your station.
If your kids like Arthur, here's a link to some neat Arthur activities and some info for parents. (http://pbskids.org/arthur/)
Have fun:)

There was a review of the episode in the TV Guide this week. Here is a link to the story: "Arthur" takes a thoughtful look at dyslexia (http://www.dallasnews.com/entertainment/columnists/jeannespreier/STORY.e9e93a75e2.b0.af.0.a4.be6ab.html)

Since this is a new episode it should be showing tomorrow on your local PBS station. I'll be taping it for my DD to watch again and to share with her friends at school.
