Michelle Kuo: The Hidden Power of Reading TED Talk

Reading and writing can be acts of courage that bring us closer to others and ourselves. Author Michelle Kuo shares how teaching reading skills to her students in the Mississippi Delta revealed the bridging power of the written word -- as well as the limitations of its power.
This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxTaipei, an independent event. TED's editors chose to feature it for you.
