episode 13: S02E13: Dr Danny Brassell - Helping parents get kids hooked on books.
If you grew up in the 80's or 90's in the US you probably have fond memories of LeVar Burton reading you books, and chasing "butterflies in the sky". The love of reading and books was then, probably, backed up at school with the chance to earn a FREE (tiny) personal pizza at PizzaHut by reading a certain number of books. Kids loved it. Today Reading Rainbow is off the air, and has been since 2006, and there is no more "pizza for reading" program. So what do parents do today to help get kids jazzed about books? Danny Brassell has an answer. His program helps parents to build not only a love for reading, but the kind of strong literacy skills that will help with a future of standardized tests and late-night study sessions.
Danny's energy is infectious, and he's clearly passionate about what he does. Danny meets with teachers, administrators, and educators at all levels to help inspire them and give them direction. He also works one-to-one with families and parents to help individual students get the extra help kiddos sometimes need. If you want to find more about Danny check it out here:
