Left Behind Screening

Left Behind Film Screening

To kick off Dyslexia Awareness Month, our hope is that this event will acknowledge and inspire attendees to continue their efforts toward ensuring every Virginian child has access to high quality instructional materials, as it aligns with the Virginia Literacy Act.
October 1, 2025

Please note the film is only accessible for one week from the initial screening date.
Dyslexia impacts one in five children worldwide, yet while 20% of the population has this learning difference, a staggering 48% of incarcerated individuals are dyslexic. Families without financial means often lack access to essential testing and tailored curricula that their children desperately need. Left Behind tells the powerful story of a group of passionate mothers who unite to create the first public dyslexic school in New York City, the largest school district in the country.

Here, in Virginia, we collectively get to celebrate our own advancements toward evidence-based literacy instruction for each and every student!

Presenter: a film by ANNA TOOMEY, featuring key figure KAREEM WEAVER
