  • Left Behind: The Film & Virtual Discussion

    Zoom

    Left Behind: The Film explores the national reading crisis and its devastating impact on children who are not given access to evidence-based reading instruction. The documentary sheds light on systemic inequities, the human cost of low literacy rates, and the urgent need to align teaching practices with the science of reading. We encourage you to watch the global screening of Left Behind: The Film between October 24 and November 1 at leftbehindthefilm.com, and then join us for a virtual discussion. Together, we’ll unpack the film’s key messages, reflect on what it reveals about reading instruction in North Carolina, and discuss how we can collectively change outcomes for students—especially those most often left behind. This is an opportunity to engage with educators, advocates, and literacy leaders who share a commitment to ensuring every child learns to read.
