typo 2
When the question "How do you get reluctant readers to read?" is printed on this video, reluctant is spelled wrong.
Dr. Jabar and Dr. Josey

typo
just thought you may want to correct your spelling.
His name is Abdul-Jabbar (two b's)
Lawrence Turner
The name of Dr. Josey's son-in-law who introduces him in the video is Lawrence Turner - we weren't able to get his name into the video before completing it, but we did want to give credit where credit is due.
