In this brief YouTube short, two speakers discuss adult literacy and the embarrassment many adults feel about not being able to read. Speaker B encourages anyone feeling ashamed to stop hiding their struggle and to seek help, specifically pointing to the John Corcoran Foundation as a source of resources for adult readers. Speaker A adds a personal note, mentioning that his father authored the book The Teacher Who Couldn't Read, using the story to illustrate how shame‑based suffering from illiteracy can persist across generations. The overall message is to empower adults to embrace reading, seek support, and recognize that their difficulty does not define them.
