VCR Alert for Arthur Dyslexia Episode

[going2wdw]

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.. 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.
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

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.
