I Can't Read: A Guide to Success Through Failure

By: William Manzanares IV

Narrated by: William Manzanares IV

If not being able to read was a disease, it would be an epidemic. Millions of Americans can’t read, but illiteracy often goes unacknowledged or unnoticed. If you are the parent or teacher of a child who struggles with reading, you know the painful way that illiteracy steals their confidence and robs them of the joy that comes from learning. William Manzanares IV - a member of the Puyallup Tribe in Washington state - wrote I Can’t Read to give the literacy conversation a much-needed jump-start.

William, who grew up unable to read and later learned he had dyslexia, overcame these obstacles and transformed himself into a successful serial entrepreneur. In this inspirational story, William shares strategic superpowers that worked for him in the hopes it will improve literacy for those who can’t read. The book includes personal anecdotes to inspire kids everywhere - especially young Native Americans - to pursue their dreams.

Informative and inspiring!

This is a short and sweet listen that definitely encouraged me and motivated me and got me excited to read (and listen to) more books! William has an amazing story which is inspiring and I also learned quite a few things about reading disabilities that I was unaware of before. Also, he's generous enough at the end of book to give his personal recommended book reading list and it's a great one - I am definitely planning to dive into that list in the very near future.

Inspiring and Motivational

This is the first book I have finished from front to back in along time. Will’s journey is inspiring and informative on how not give up. I’ve always believed in hard work to accomplish goals and listening to Will’s thoughts for his success have only made me want to work harder.

written by a man who cares

As a women who grew up with dexexia, I can say this story rings true. I love that Will Manzanares both strives to help people with literacy struggles and also those who don"t struggle but want to understand and to help. This books is worth reading ... or listening to.

A powerful punch of a memoir

A short memoir written through the eyes of a man who’s dyslexia caused him to struggle with reading most of his life.

This is an amazingly inspiring story of triumph over disadvantage.
From being unable to read to becoming a successful serial entrepreneur, investor, and now author. It was great to learn just how far grit and self-determination can take a person.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has or knows someone who struggles with reading difficulties.

Inspiring must read!!

This book is inspiring & encouraging to every reader, not just those who struggle with reading! I am a mom of 2 & it has brought new light to how I interact with my kids on various levels.
