Watch this beautiful short film that follows the challenges experienced by a young unhoused student as she attempts to learn to read. Created by participants of the CBS Leadership Pipeline Challenge, the animated short film is streaming on YouTube and CBS.com.

“TO THE LETTER follows a young unhoused student as she attempts to learn how to read. Letters and words escape her into the cloudy darkness of her frustration until her tutor breaks through and braves the storm with her. The film is inspired by the School on Wheels ABC Literacy Program, which is designed to help unhoused students in kindergarten through third-grade catch up to their grade level in literacy and develop a love of reading. The animated short features original music composed by Dhruv Goel, using the soundscape of Skid Row.”
