Children come to school differently resourced. Many children come to school knowing their ABCs and a rare few can read chapter books by the age of six. But what about children who have difficulty learning to read because of home circumstances? This episode explores the work of educators and volunteers who make it their mission to make reading for all a reality.

Episode Guests Ms Michelle Yeo, Lawyer and Co-founder of ReadAble Ms Joy Tan, Teacher Volunteer at ReadAble Dr Tan Chee Soon, Lecturer, National Institute of Education
