Join us for the screening of The Tides of Change, a powerful documentary that lifts the voices of teachers, administrators, and families leading a grassroots movement to transform literacy across Charleston.

The film captures the heart of this work through the stories of two families whose lives are forever changed by access to the Orton-Gillingham approach—an approach unlocking reading for children who have long been left behind. Their journeys are woven together with the perspectives of educators and community leaders who are rising up to ensure every child has the fundamental right to read.

Following the screening, a panel of educators and parents will talk about the power of the Orton-Gillingham approach and opportunities to build more capacity in Summerville.

More than a film, The Tide of Change is a call to action. It is a portrait of what’s possible when a community comes together, determined to close the literacy gap and build a brighter future for all children in the Lowcountry.
