The Right to Read: Virtual Screen and Discussion
The Reading League California is excited to partner with Collaborative Classroom to host our very first launch event! Please join us as we view the documentary The Right to Read and then engage in a discussion of how we can advance the science of reading movement in our state. The Right to Read shares the stories of NAACP activist Kareem Weaver, a teacher, and two families who fight to provide our youngest generation with the most foundational indicator of life-long success: the ability to read.
