Short description
Join The Reading League North Carolina (TRL-NC), UNC-Charlotte, and Collaborative Classroom for a screening of The Right to Read documentary, followed by a panel discussion with literacy advocates facilitated by TRL-NC President Linda Rhyne. Guests will then enjoy lunch and conversation about the film.
The Right to Read film shares the stories of an NAACP activist and South Carolina native Kareem Weaver, a teacher, and two American families who fight to provide our youngest generation with the most foundational indicator of life-long success: the ability to read.

On November 7, 2023, Read Write Spell will host our biennial Rise & Read Breakfast fundraiser. This year's keynote speaker is Emily Hanford. Emily Hanford is an award-winning journalist who helped spark a national movement to bring the science of reading to schools with her groundbreaking podcast episode, Hard Words: Why Aren’t Our Kids Being Taught to Read? Emily has traveled the country speaking with educators, caregivers and families, and other stakeholders about literacy instruction, and she will share some of those insights with us.
It is important to give back to the community, and there is no greater investment than providing a child with a foundation for success in education. Please join us for Rise & Read 2023 on Tuesday, November 7 at 8 a.m. to help support the work of Read Write Spell in our community.
