       John Corcoran is the author of the book, The Teacher Who Couldn't Read, a memoir of his years as a non-reader who did not learn to master the written word until the age of 48. Corcoran’s 1994 autobiography catapulted him into the national spotlight as a literacy advocate and champion for those who linger in the sub-culture of illiteracy. Corcoran’s second book, Bridge to Literacy: No Child – or Adult – Left Behind is a powerful call to action to eradicate illiteracy still prevalent in America.
