Listen "What will help America's lagging literacy rates? Plus, a peek into this year's CineFest Latino Boston Film Festival"
Episode Synopsis
Recent findings show that one-third of American high school seniors lack basic reading skills -- the lowest numbers in more than three decades. Could a shift to a more linguistics-centered educational approach help turn those numbers around? Plus, it’s Hispanic Heritage Month, which means it’s time again for the annual CineFest Latino Boston Film Festival. We speak with its founder and director along with two filmmakers whose documentary, "Comparsa," is kicking off the festival.
