Set to a hip-hop soundtrack, Reading Rocks! uses wacky humor and stories of hope to encourage struggling readers to keep trying. The special also helps parents and teachers understand the emotional impact of reading troubles and offers ways to motivate struggling readers at home and school. Television and film stars Nick Spano and Vivica A. Fox add sparkle to this empowering, upbeat, and totally hip show for kids ages 7-12.
Reading Rocks! features a kid author, a claymation movie, inspiring profiles, and silly moments with Spano. There’s an entertaining segment about some of the oddities of the English language and author/illustrator Christopher Myers (Wings and Harlem) in an elementary school visit where he uses his big feet to show children that being different is something to celebrate.
