Studies show -- and common sense tells us -- that kids learn better when their parents are engaged and involved. But how can that parental engagement be encouraged? As we found out in a Plain Dealer series last fall, plenty of encouragement is going on and it’s bearing fruit. Join us for the encore presentation of a discussion first aired in November, 2012. That's Thursday morning at 9:00 on The Sound of Ideas.

Guests

Margaret Bernstein, columnist, The Plain Dealer
Lucille Short, Cleveland resident
Victor Ruiz, executive director, Esperanza Inc.
Sonya Pryor-Jones, director, Promise Initiative, Sisters of Charity Foundation
Robert Paponetti, executive director, Literacy Cooperative
