Public Service Announcements

Reading Rockets has produced several 30-second public service announcements featuring Reba McEntire, Molly Ringwald, Vivica A. Fox, Morgan Freeman, and Al Roker. The video spots encourage parents to read with their children, with a light touch, energetic delivery, and the appeal of familiar celebrities.
