An Illiterate Confession
Promoting the Love of Reading
An Illiterate
Confession
I love to read. My dad taught me a love of reading by reading to me and then taking me to the public library when I could read. Dad was an eclectic reader and introduced me to a wide variety of genres. My comic book collection was the envy of my peers. My life has been successful and I credit a great deal of that success to reading or the love of reading. I’ve had diverse careers all of which demanded literacy. I believe literacy is the foundation of educational success. I hope this book will inspire reading. Loosely quoting my main protagonist, “if I can inspire one child to read my work here is successful.”
Eric couldn’t read and ended up in jail. Illiteracy led to anger and anger led to incarceration. Eric’s journey to literacy may help young reluctant readers discover a love of reading.
