Fifty-four percent of all Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 read at below sixth-grade level, while 70% all jailed adults cannot read at a fourth-grade level.

Educator and literacy advocate Kareem Weaver works to correct this problem with the documentary film “The Right to Read.” Haverhill Promise, the local campaign for grade level reading, is showing the film on Monday, Nov. 13, at 6 p.m., at HC Media, Harbor Place, 2 Merrimack St., Haverhill.

Following the film, a panel discussion on literacy in Haverhill takes place with Rep. Andy X. Vargas, Haverhill Public Schools Superintendent Margaret Marotta and YMCA Executive Director Tracy Fuller.
