There will be a public film screening of The Right to Read on Thursday, March 7, 6:30pm-9:30pm, at the Wellesley Free Library, 530 Washington St.
The film is directed by Jenny Mackenzie and produced by Levar Burton, known for his iconic role in Reading Rainbow. The film follows an NAACP activist, an educator, and two American families as they navigate the challenges and triumphs in their quest to secure the most crucial foundation of lifelong success for our youth: the gift of reading.
The event will also serve as a treasure trove of resources for parents of early and hesitant readers alike, offering an array of materials on effective reading programs and engaging books.
The screening is presented in partnership with The Wellesley Free Library and WPS Parents Coalition, an independent group that is unaffiliated with the Wellesley Public Schools.
