THE READING GAP
@JCFliteracy |
An Open Letter From John Corcoran
My years of passion and advocacy for
literacy have great meaning to me. After all these years, I still can't stop
advocating and working to change things so other little boys and little girls
don't suffer unnecessarily like I did.
Recently I've been involved in
planning for this literacy documentary that will include my story. Having 65% of 4th graders in the US lacking
proficiency in literacy is a national shame. We have a superstar line up of
experts to interview, tasked with outlining the problem and solution. Educators
who have shown the kinds of gains that are possible and former/current
struggling readers have committed to participate too. This monumental project
has the potential to change the face of literacy in our country and beyond!
We are currently working to raise
funds for this film and, along with your moral support, would appreciate any
donation to the project if you feel moved to do so. Your enthusiasm, energy,
and willingness to help us spread the word about his film would also be greatly
appreciated! Together, we can make a significant difference.
Here is a 1 minute video that will
give you a glimpse of the work of Nick Nanton,
the film's superstar Emmy award winning director and producer. WATCH 03:37
