ProLiteracy: National TV Series Features Adult Learner

ProLiteracy is excited to announce that the national cable TV show Secret Lives of Americans has filmed an episode around Cleo, an adult who struggles with low literacy skills. Secret Lives of Americans is a groundbreaking documentary series that takes an unflinching look at the secrets people keep and the strength that it takes to reveal them to friends and family. 
ProLiteracy has been working with Participant Media on the Secret Lives of Americans show for months, contributing resources and statistics, and helping to find an adult learner who was willing to share his/her literacy journey, struggles, and triumphs.
