Television show to target toddlers and reading

A new PBS show, Toddling Toward Reading, looks at the critical years before kindergarten and what educators are doing to get toddlers on the road to reading. Hosted by singer Reba McEntire, the newest episode of Reading Rockets: Launching Young Readers series, will focus on the Reach Out and Read national health initiative, which incorporates literacy development into well-baby pediatric visits; a child-parent preschool center in Chicago that helps at-risk parents learn how to support their children's reading; as well as other model programs.

Toddling Toward Reading will air on PBS stations across the country beginning in September and will be available beginning September 1 on www.readingrockets.org.

SUPERSTAR REBA MCENTIRE RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO FOR "EVERY OTHER WEEKEND"

Actors Joanna Garcia and Steve Howey from the sitcom REBA play leading roles

Reba invited her friends Joanna Garcia and Steve Howey to portray the parents in her music video for "Every Other Weekend," which begins airing on all video channels today.

In the hit sitcom REBA (which can be seen daily on the Lifetime Television Network,) Joanna Garcia plays the role of Reba's daughter, Cheyenne, and Steve Howey plays the role of her son-in-law, Van. So, when it came time for the mother and father roles to be cast, Reba naturally thought of them.

The video, directed by Roman White, has a very realistic storyline and features the parents meeting at a playground parking lot to exchange children, toys and back packs for the weekend. Reba narrates the story and she witnesses the lingering love between the mom and dad when they accidentally wind up hand in hand and time stands still.
