The wife of his master secretly taught him the alphabet, and he taught himself to read.At a time when slaves were not allowed to learn how to read and write, Frederick Douglass had some very good people in his life. They ignored the law and helped him in his quest for knowledge. Initially, his masterâ??s wife, taught him to read, but after admonishments from her husband this ended.
