Not often this would describe me but this was the name of a program that we watched the other night.
It followed eight students ranging in ages eight to sixty who could not read and write.
What a sad first espiode. It was over three weeks but we binged watched.
They stated that 43% of Australian adults could not read above level two which is a seven to eight year old!
After nine weeks all of them improved and were even able to give a speech to fellow students and their families.
The sixty year old didnt understand a bus time table and for seventeen years he walked for ninety minutes to catch a train to work. He wanted to be able to take his driving test.
He achieved that in the last week.
These were a few tears in this household at the end.
