Left Behind: The Film&nbsp;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 <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.leftbehindthefilm.com/" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">leftbehindthefilm.com</a>, and then join us for our virtual discussion hosted by The Reading League North Carolina&nbsp;following the free global screening.
