A Chance to Read: How I See Words

"A Chance to Read," a new PBS show produced by WETA Washington D.C., highlights new strategies driven by emerging research that shows what schools are doing across the country to help children with disabilities find success.

The show is hosted by actress Molly Ringwald, who grew up reading to her father, who is blind. "A Chance to Read" will air this fall on PBS stations across the country.

One of the segments in "A Chance to Read" follows fourth-grader Ethan Ligon of Denton, Texas, who has learned to read fluently using Braille, a feat that only 10 percent of children who are blind have the opportunity to accomplish.
