Another Chance to Watch 17-Month-Old Elizabeth Read

Posted:

Wednesday night, we featured a story about Elizabeth Barrett, the 17-month-old toddler that can read. Stations around the country called NewsChannel 11 wanting a copy so they could broadcast it.

Due to a large local response and interest, we have decided to re-air the story Sunday night during NewsChannel 11 @ Ten. 

You can catch it in the HealthWise portion of the show, and we'll tell you what has happened for Elizabeth since her big debut on Lubbock television.

Lubbock Infant Can Read at 17 Months Old
A month ago, when I got an e-mail from a Lubbock mom who told me her 16-month-old baby could read, I didn't really take it seriously.  But after a few weeks and a few more e-mails, I decided to meet her and see for myself. Here's Elizabeth's story.
