Save the Date - The Truth About Reading (Movie Screening)

The Truth About Reading* The Invisible Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight

Literacy Delaware has been selected to host screenings of a new documentary, The Truth About Reading* The Invisible Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight. Prior to the national release, the film will be out to the public later this summer, we will be hosting several different screenings in late April at various locations throughout the state.

This powerful documentary tells the story of adult literacy through the eyes of those who know it best – adults who struggle with literacy. Particularly moving is the story of John Corcoran author of The Teacher Who Couldn’t Read. John shares his own incredible story of moving through the educational system, graduating college, and teaching high school for 17 years – all while only having a second grade reading level. At age 48 he sought help from a non-profit just like us in California.

While there is no charge for attendance to the movie screening,  registration is strongly suggested to ensure available seats.
