Join us for the premiere of The Rising Tide: Literacy in the Lowcountry, a powerful new documentary that lifts the voices of teachers, administrators, and families leading a grassroots movement to transform literacy across Charleston.
The film follows two families whose lives are changed by the Orton-Gillingham approach—an evidence-based method giving every child the opportunity to read—and highlights how this movement is reshaping classrooms and communities across the Lowcountry.
Following the screening, a panel of educators, parents, and literacy advocates will discuss the state of literacy in South Carolina and how the Lowcountry Literacy Project is changing student outcomes.
Together, we’re building a movement so that every child can read.
