It is the amazing true story of a man who triumphed over his illiteracy and who has become one of the nation's leading literacy advocates.

His story was also featured in national magazines such as Esquire, Biography, Reader's Digest, and People. "The Teacher Who Couldn't Read" is a gripping tale of triumph over America's national literacy crisis-- a story you'll thoroughly enjoy while being enlightened to a national tragedy.
