god these videos are years old but i want to see more of them!! this kind of content is so important in the world today, seeing people show such strength and bravery in the face of such difficulties is just inspirational in a way like no other
Oh I just cried a river! This is so touching and powerful! I am with her every step of the way because I had a learning disability when I was young so I know how it is like to struggle! Here is the ultimate positive slang from American English: You go woman!!!
It's weird to imagine how life would be like if I couldn't read because pretty much everything I do needs reading, even looking for youtube videos for example... It's awesome that she really learned it!! She's great
That depends which school you are attending...otherwise you’re not only at the risk of not learn how to read, but also a minor brain damage...Check out Samuel Blumenfeld’s videos and books. As a rule here in Sweden about a half class are illiterate. They have difficulty to read and understand the text. You can’t teach read English or Swedish phonetic alphabet as it would be Chinese. We have phonetic alphabet, Chinese have ideograms.
I learned how to read when I was in the 6th grade. At the start of 6th grade I was barely at a first grade level of reading. I was so determined and put all my focus into learning. I told my special education teachers that I didn’t care about the rest of my subjects; that if I didn’t learn to read at a higher level I wouldn’t stand a chance at going to college. They helped me and by 8th grade I was reading at a 5th grade level. By 10th grade I scored in the top 25 out of 100 students on the reading portion in state testing. My school principal called me into the office to verify my 6th grade reading level. He needed to ask because I just achieved something unheard of-breaking a record-in such a short amount of time. I began to read all the time. I ended up graduating with honors both in high school and at University. I love to write along with still being a book warm. I understand her struggle, but am fortunate I didn’t have to endure it as long as she did. I still remember being able to read a book to my younger sister by 3 years. Usually it was her reading to me and helping me sound out words.
Good for her! She's a credit to her family. Incidentally, can anyone tell me how this programme is done? How it appears that one year has passed so 'instantaneously'?!
They record it and what davina wearing and how she has her hair and then she wears the same thing exactly 1 year later, they also invite the same audience back too
at first i'll admit, i did laugh and think "how can someone go that long without being able to read?" but after watching the video, i realise it's not about the past, but the fact she wanted to change her future not just for herself, but her grandchildren as well. it really did change my perspective on life
Imagine going to the store looking for a certain food that you’ve never heard of , you won’t be able to read the labels or anything. Imagine going to the doctor and filing out the paperwork and not knowing what it says. Imagine ordering of the menu at a restaurant. This what her life was and wait if she can’t read then can she write ? Type?
This may sound ignorant but I dont understand how someone can live for so long and not know how to read. I question if she ever went to school as a kid because we had exams and assignments that allow us to graduate from school in general. Another reason why I am surprised by it all is because when I was 4 I picked up reading really quickly before school started and I had really bad hearing until I was nearly 8. So it just amazes me that people dont get taught to read as it's part of everyday life.
I don't know this lady but I feel SO proud of her! What an incredible achievement for herself and those boys, well done Nana!
You don’t even realise how much we take reading for granted. Being able to read opens up you entire world, holy shit
god these videos are years old but i want to see more of them!! this kind of content is so important in the world today, seeing people show such strength and bravery in the face of such difficulties is just inspirational in a way like no other
Fantastic. What a lovely woman... brought tears to my eyes x
I'm so glad that all her hard work has given her this life skill.
Oh I just cried a river! This is so touching and powerful!
I am with her every step of the way because I had a learning disability when I was young so I know how it is like to struggle!
Here is the ultimate positive slang from American English:
You go woman!!!
So happy for you !! Was precious to see you reading to your grandkids !! :)
Amazing, I’m so happy for her, and I hope she inspired other people in her situation to do the same.
It's weird to imagine how life would be like if I couldn't read because pretty much everything I do needs reading, even looking for youtube videos for example... It's awesome that she really learned it!! She's great
So happy for her
Aww I love watching these they are so inspirational ❤️💜💖
The way children are being taught to read now is so much better than it ever has been!

This is so heartwarming
This show is just amazing❤️
I guess if she couldn't read, she couldn't write either?:o it's amazing seeing her read the book at the end, and the little boys getting emotional aww
This is my favourite one I've seen. So so happy for her and her family.
I was in tears!
She can read WAY better than me, and I'm 15 lol. BIG well done to you!
congratulations - wow - i really admire you. You're amazing!
Wonderful!
Crazy that she could get to her age and not be able to read 😮 well done to her though for doing it! 🎉
There's a reason why she didn't learn, the education system was a huge mess when she was at School.
That's amazing!!! Xxx
Soooooo sweet ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This made me cry
So so sweet welldone xx

That is amazing 🤭
..things we take for granted, those "little" stuff, are actually the greatest things in life. my regards to her! :)
Awh this is very inspiring x
This is so amazing!! So does this lens she couldn’t write either?
Yes
Yes
Good for her! She's a credit to her family. Incidentally, can anyone tell me how this programme is done? How it appears that one year has passed so 'instantaneously'?!
Same outfit and audience a year later, similar to how they record what actors wear and have as hair and makeup in case reshoots are needed
Well done :)
I don't get how this show works. They're sat there, and then instantly it's a year later.
Reuben Lee yeah I don't get it either
They record it and what davina wearing and how she has her hair and then she wears the same thing exactly 1 year later, they also invite the same audience back too
11 people accidentally hit the thumbs down button. That or hit it out of feeling bad.

How douse this work like how can it suddenly turn to the next year?

Chloe matteson, no, obviously, if she couldn't read she wouldn't be able to write, either!

God is amazing 📕❤️
i know people who are dyslexic but they can read
Who else is from the same town as her WIGANNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!like if you are
All the foreign language films she missed ahh!
How could she have done her GCSEs or o levels ?
not everyone does GCSEs or o levels- she probably dropped out early on
Kathryn Booth, obviously she didn't sit for any examinations. She couldn't read or write!
H
I'm dyslexic to.it is bad
Jdje Snnd, she isn't dyslexic - merely illiterate. That's why she was able to learn to
read and write.
Leavva l
If she can't read does that mean she can't write??
Yes
She could have done that decades ago.... Why not sooner?
