Documenting the process by which children learn to read and write, From Pictures to Words follows children ages 4 to 8 at progressive stages of literacy. Culled from over 100 hours of footage of classroom and home learning, the program captures the exciting experience of discovering the joys of the written word.

Hosted by opera star Dawn Upshaw and with expert guidance from the Child Development Institute at Sarah Lawrence College, From Pictures to Words provides practical suggestions to parents and teachers on how children can be encouraged and supported to acquire the skills necessary for a lifetime of writing and reading.
