Literacy Through hip-hop is an innovative literacy program for children between the ages of nine and twelve years old. The program uses the popular youth culture of hip-hop, specifically hip-hop music as a means to engage children about their readings and writing. This documentary by Alex Redgrave follows a group of Montreal students as they create their own rhymes, record their first tracks, and sharpen their literacy skills.
