Description:

Although he graduated from high school and college and went on to become a secondary school teacher, John Corcoran functioned in life without the basic skills of reading and writing. This is the story of someone who slipped through the cracks. The story of a man who learned to hide his disability and his struggles with his feelings of inadequacy because of it. The Teacher Who Couldn't Read will challenge and inspire parents, teachers, schools, and people struggling with literacy to strive for a world where no child is left without the ability to read.
