    Adult literacy

    This is the movie that prompted me to become an adult literacy tutor after I retired. I have worked with one of my students for more than 15 years and facilitated her learning from a 4th grade reading level to taking and passing college classes. She has the same desire to learn and determination to succeed as Dennis Weaver's character displays in the movie.
