Why Our Kids Can't Read

Reading is the building block of all education. Around the country, there are political battles affecting our kids’ classroom. But a much bigger issue is happening - almost half of our kids cannot read at the level they're supposed to. Why are we failing half the time? Through the lens of the 10th largest school district in America – in Palm Beach County, Florida – we’re looking at the struggles students, parents and teachers are facing every day. Why Our Kids Can't Read is a production of WPEC in West Palm Beach Florida. Host: Matt Lincoln
