Millions leave school unable to read properly. This four-part podcast uncovers the hidden literacy crisis, its human cost, and the solutions that can change lives. This problem has inflicted incalculable harm and blighted lives with misery. The worst part is that this is unnecessary – we have the knowledge we need to teach all children and young people to read. The solutions are far cheaper than the ongoing costs of illiteracy.  In this four-part podcast, you will hear from headteachers and principals, teachers, charity leaders, researchers and academics, literacy teaching specialists, and most importantly, young people and adults who have struggled with their reading. We tell the story of their pain and frustration, and the incredible power that learning to read confers when they finally get the help that they need.
