IT wss indeed a huge secret to keep. Many keep it and fiddle around it. Instead of carrying that weight the dyslexic ones should just put pride away and ask for help. Being able to read is like a passport.
@@hassiroonbyer1250 It's not so much a matter of pride. It's more a matter of shame. Everything in your life starts with how you do in school. Your whole future is predicated on your grades and how easily you learn. Kids pick up on this and if they aren't learning easily it becomes a matter of shame. As adults we often magnify this by equating good grades with conduct. A good kid gets good grades and bad kids get bad grades. When you are trying your hardest, doing three times the work as all the other kids and still failing what does that say to your self esteem. "I must be a bad kid and get shamefully poor grades." It's no wonder a kid would want to keep that from showing. Kids don't know there's any help. Most adults don't know either. They hide it and from then on they consider themselves the only ones who have the problem. I've known several adults who only realized what was wrong with them when their kids were diagnosed. It hasn't been long since the time when learning disabilities were even realized by most schools. Within my life time. Now they are much easier to diagnose and many teachers are knowledgeable but it"s only been a couple decades.
Ónly the Almighty is HOLY. Since when can you call yourself 'holy'? Even you think that you have generally accepted credentials to be even a CRITIC, though a totally water-downed version of a critic which barely made the letter 'c'!
My late FIL, a WWII Englishman had to drop out of school at 11, to go to work when both older brothers died at Dunkirk so he was left to support a widowed mother. This 12 year old worked FT from then on till age 70, thru a 60 yr happy marriage, and raised 5 kids. I never knew till he was gone he could not read nor barely write. His wife was well-educated and covered for him. He kept the secret. He was one of the most intelligent men I ever met. This movie is very meaningful.
My Dad had a 3rd grade education and was of, if not the smartest person I've ever known ! A genius at math. Argued with my cousin who was a very smart college student in the 1960's about how awful marxist & socialism is. He was Totally Correct and Blew my cousin out of the water . It was so much fun to watch ! 🤣 🙏 🇺🇸 ❤
@@patsysmothermon7861 People use socialism and community almost interchangeably which is ridiculously. Most of Europe has Socialism of one kind or another and it is way more functional than the unfettered capitalism we are in the process of democrats is as unsustainable as community.
What a superb Performance! Kirk Douglas a legend! Btw I’m also a fan of His son Michael Douglas!!!!!! this movie is very inspiring! My late Dad Mike couldn’t write and read too... but he was able to have a job and retired as General Foreman of AM Oreta Construction Co. I’m very proud of him!! What important is to wear a heart with compassion and integrity!!!!
A great and important movie with the important message of dyslexia, it's important to recognise the importance and silent pain that dyslexia suffers. There's no shame in dyslexia or other mental disorders, We are all Unique and Important.
Watched this just to see Kirk. A mild film compared to a Kirk film I have never forgotten called 'Spartacus'. How well he hopped on horses in his western flicks too. What an amazing man. This story showed the strength of spirit. Without ever really knowing why he was different he kept a secret with all those who knew his secret too and still helped him thrive in life. This story isn't just about his secret but the love and care his community showed because everyone saw Kirk as a man who actually loved people.
Years ago one of my best friends read his autobiography and I never did get around to reading it myself but she told me some interesting things in it and it sounded really good . Yeah there was something about Kirk Douglas he just was such a positive force .
What a beautiful movie 🥰 How much we have to learn about teaching!!! As a teacher it is important to know very well who we are teaching. This movie has made me cry 😢 and to acknowledge how powerful a teacher could be to identify disabilities in our students. The movies shows also how secrets in family can hurt so much!!! God give us the wisdom to see mucho more deeper what happen in the inside of others. 🙏🏼💖
I was born in 1950 I have dyslexia.i was made to feel thick.stupid etc in my day.my daughter had dyslexia but reading was her problem.she couldn't do problem sums like myself.but put 12 eggs down and then we can get the answer but the sum.the reading part we couldn't understand yet still in the 70 to 80 you had nasty teachers that made her feel thick stupid etc.until one teacher understood the problem.THATS WHAT I CALL A REAL TEACHER.SOMEONE WHO LISTENS.UK
What a beautiful story. So many people have secrets and they are ashamed because they think others will not like them or respect them. Everyone should see this story.
I am a fan of all the Douglas men, especially Kirk, I'm half way through the movie and I will definitely recommend it to all,these movies count, because they are real life, most importantly help,and educate people thanks for posting this video, many blessings to you, in JESUS name I pray Amen 🙏
You know a child never received a hiding if he is this disrespectful. That spoiled the story for me. No matter the circumstances bad, rude and disrespectfulness is never ok.
This movie had my crying. My little sister wasn’t diagnosed with dyslexia until after high school. We were both pretty damn good volleyball players & I’ll admit my sister was way better than I. However because of her dyslexia she was put in “special” classes for slow kids and wasn’t allowed to participate in school athletics. She played in the church league & we won every year. It breaks my heart that so many intelligent, talented kids were made to feel inferior because of a learning disability.
Hi, I am a bricklayer. I have worked with many people with dyslexia and I can tell you that they are far more clever than the rest of us when it comes to building and making things

Great story every parent should see. I worked at a school where there were many children with dyslexia. Everybody helped them to get by and they were never put to shame. I can spell and write and read very well, but I can not for the life of me read out loud, never could. I never read my children stories, I told the stories. Thank you for sharing this true to life story with us. Was great to see Kirk Douglas and Bruce Boxleitner again. So soft on the old eyes they are...
That would be wonderful. Not my experience. Other kids treated me like a POS and many teachers even worse. By the 8th grade I had given up on school. I pretty much got my own education. Later when I had a chance for college I studied everything I could about dyslexia and figured out a way I could be successful on my own. I made it and now every chance I get I try to give back. I'm pretty good on the legal requirements schools must follow and at reading psycho-educational evaluations. I help parents find the right programs for their kids and when I meet any kids with dyslexia I try to make them understand that it does get better but that they have to put some very hard work but it's doable.
What a beautiful and heartfelt storyline! Reading is indeed fundamental! Not being able to read is akin to having a handicap. There are so many people who can’t read and suffer with the condition labeled as dyslexia. Although it sounds complicated, it can be detected through testing and managed. There’s nothing to be ashamed of but does require much-needed action and perseverance. The only shame is not taking the necessary action to seek help.
Years ago a good friend of mine was telling me about how much she enjoyed reading his autobiography and I never did get around to it but really should because he did live a pretty extraordinary life and I think you might want to look into that autobiography
I was born with Dyslexia and lived with it hidden until I was 40 years old. I knew that I had to work harder than anyone else but I never knew why. When I was tested and learned my weakness it was both a relief and something to be ashamed of and so I like Grandpa kept the secret going. What a heavy load that has been. Great movie, thank you for the upload!
John Biccum , I have it too . My husband and our son has it , but not our daughter . I think now days they even include what they call Adult Attention Deficit as well . It's hard to pay attention to what your reading or anything else . I found out later in life that I have that too . My mind wonders when I'm trying to do a certain thing like counting money or reading . I really have to concentrate on what I'm doing or I will mess up . I'm 52 yrs old and I still have that problem . It's just the way God made us . I'm like you I have always had to work hard . I can read , but if I feel like I'm being pressed I can't concentrate on what I'm doing . I have been saying for years that there should be a school just for kids that have dyslexia , because kids that have dyslexia learn differently than other kids do . I sure wish there had been a school like that when I was in school . It is embarrassing when other kids teases other kids who have dyslexia . They can be so mean . 😢
@@bonniebrown6960 At 52 you are still very young, I have more than a few years on you. I was on the very high end of Dyslexia. So even though I had to work harder than others I was able to work above and beyond my disability. However, I knew that something was wrong and I tried so hard to hide whatever part of me was broken. I was not diagnosed until my mid 40´s after I had suffered a severe accident and a wise Doctor decided to run some tests on me. Now at 66 and counting, I still know that I am different than others and I am embarrassed because of all the mind games and tricks that I have to do in order to look and feel normal. By the way, just what is normal anyway? Every person that I meet has a different idea and not one of them fits who I am. I agree about the children teasing and more, however, unfortunately, it does not end with children. People my own age still manage to get under my skin with their comments and it hurts and that is one reason why I have chosen to become almost a hermit for the last 13 years. COVID is a Godsend for me, it helps hide my fear of people. Be safe and thanks for the comment. Blessings
@@johneBGood , I totally understand what you mean . I feel the same way . But I bet you are like me ... you have a lot more common sense than most people ? Just like when my kids were growing up , my daughter was so smart when it came to books , but no common sense. Bless her heart . But then with my son it was right the opposite . He has to work hard too . He did how ever finish high school . He works for a tree service and is an arborist now . He has his own grew , but for now he still has to work . Bless his heart . Unless I tell anyone about this they don't know unless I tell them . I hide it too , because it does embarrase me as well . Sometimes I can't hide it , but I try my best . I'll be praying for you . God bless you John Biccum . 💕💕💕🙏

My older daughter has dyslexia, and attended primary school at around the same time as this story was filmed. Living in Australia, it's impossible to imagine having to travel and pay an exorbitant price to be tested. Thank goodness for the Australian school system and the wonderful teachers who are trained to recognise learning disabilities early on and get the right help. Incidentally, my daughter has a University degree and has had a successful career in many areas of life. Her father and step father couldn't be more proud of her and were always supportive. I glow when I think of how she overcame the challenges and took out every Citizenship award for her time spent helping others with learning disabilities. Tch Tch...this poor little boy.
Watching on June 16 2021 my twin boys birthday . 29 years old today . So much love to everyone . Unfortunately one son lives in Florida and the other New York . I’m sad but happy because they are employed and have wonderful friends , thank goodness for FaceTime . 💕
Great movie about a young child with Dyslexia a lot of people have it and have not been tested for it is a common disability that should not be considered shameful and if you think your child has it get them tested for it great movie and good acters going to give this movie a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars ....👏....👏....👏....🌝🌝
Thank you for this SWEET Movie. I pray to God our World returns to this innocence. That is why He created "FAMILY" and also sent His Son for us. The Father loves all of You so!!!!!
I could not read tell I was in my 30s. I'm 100% self-taught. I home schooled myself. Phonics.. what a miracle. If you have a child that can't read or even has a heard time, try phonics. The schools should have never done away with phonics. Sight reading does not work for all
A Beka Book phonics is excellent. If nothing else, get their "Handbook for Reading: The New Blue Backed Speller." They also have flash cards, readers, and workbooks. But if you get nothing else, get that one book that contains all the information. I have nothing to gain, but I share my experience with you.
Michelle Castaneda ...so very true! Some of today’s teachers need to be re educated. When I used to volunteer with reading, first thing I noticed was this little boy who kept covering one eye and then the other. I was curious, so I asked his teacher if he could be tested for dyslexia. Indeed , the child was tested and he did have dyslexia. Afterwards the experts took over. He did well after that. 😀
Beautiful...it made me cry! Lessons we all can learn and be supportive! Nothing is impossible if u have determination. I know of a church member by teaching himself was able to repair computers.
This channel has marvelous movies made to relax and entertain the heart. It's a very painful day for me I have lupus and mixed connective tissue disease. This new found channel will help me today to try and ignore the pain. Thanks to whomever owns this channel.
Thanks so much for sharing , this was a great family Movie the fact that he told the Truth eventually and everyone Respected that and stood by him. Thanks
great movie, i also suffer from dyslexia. when i was dianosed with it when i was 8, back then it was unheard of and there was no speacil classes back in the 70's. not like today.
Alimoo1971, my oldest son was diagnosed in early 80’ and now after all the years of frustrations, I’m looking at my hubby as I watch this movie and see maybe why I have to explain to him over and over, how to use his phone, read directions and write checks for him etc...even his over reacting over silly things is troubling me now. After a few fist pumping meltdowns in the past, I suggested he see a doctor...nothing doing...😔
@@angelasenisi9168 I've spoke to my family and that they can remember that there no one in the family who had dyslexia, i'm the first. As for your husband do you think he might have it?
Alimoo1971, I’m no longer doubting it...When I pointed things out to our daughter, she would say that he’s just getting old, except he’s always been this way. Unfortunately recognition came too late.. Take care...
I really enjoyed this movie.Good family movie,great acting.Loved the close relationship between grandfather and geandson..Alot of good issues were brought up..
Deslexia needs to be dealt with immediately, especially if you have Deslexia...time and learning is the cure and to be patient when teaching! It will all work out, in time! Great movie.
His Son, Michael Douglas, hasn't all the 'Star Presence as an Brilliant Actor and Humble, Wise Man, that Kirk Douglas, his Father, Forever has and is still remenber, untill actual days📹🎬💯📽on the oposite of MD: is only my own opinion🙋♀️🇵🇹
wow...kinda like my family story. My cousin couldn't read either and they wanted to fail him, so MY MOM intervened and promised to TEACH him to read during the summer months...AND SHE DID and he learned. He was in grade 3 and didn't read hardly at all, because he was lazy and has ADHD. Well he learned to read and entered 4th grade and then eventually went to college. He didn't fail schooling at least, but the ADHD is still very tough for my cousin who is now in his 50's.
At 10.54 on the movie, however Kirk Douglas still is a Wise, Admarible, Humble, True, Charming, Pure Man and Human Being👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽From an Incondional Fan🙋♀️🇵🇹
filmed in nova scotia, Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg and Chester and tavern in Chester, not sure where harvesting cranberries maybe on island off Chester, row boat that went by is called a dory
I also grew up with severe dyslexia. They decided I was retarded, and they had me tested to find out how bad it was. My IQ came out at 134 verbal, and 154 inductive -- Average: 144. My dad about shit bricks, This was in the 1950s and early 1960s, and The concept of learning disabilities was basically ignored or unknown. I would have thought the serious speech impediment that prevented me from pronouncing long "E"s like those in cheese and the long "E" in my own name would have been a clue...It wasn't. (I was 11 or twelve years old before I could say either word out loud.)
Dyslexia I helped my friend learn to read with this, handicapp no more. She now sits around and reads. I love it. I believe it comes from the Adrenal glands. Mine is out of wack and I type backwards and strange letter combos why I think it is from the adrenal gland. RIP Nancy. Love you girlfriend. Cancer in esophagus, passed over at 34 yrears old. See the years word ? I type usually only to family to much timeto tix and correct. They know I'm not going to edit. To much work.
I had a learning problems in school. Back then they didn't know about learning disabilities. My teacher hit me because I couldn't read in third grade. I had a dizziness because she hit me.
What is it with people and spoiled rotten kids that they don't want to forgive? They want to be heard when troubled times come up? What are parents teaching? MATTHEW 6: 14,15..
Remember, all reading difficulties are not caused by dyslexia, even if one is found to qualify as have a Learning Disability. Phonics instruction, 1:1, with alternative memory techniques, often opens the door with dyslexics but once that initial breakthrough, there are many parts to understanding what is read.

I glow when I think of how she overcame the challenges and took out every Citizenship award for her time spent helping others with learning disabilities. Tch Tch...this poor little boy.
Many different ways to learn,Thank God 😊 Because we have so much to share with each other.🙏✌💜
Love that teacher called it a learning "difference" instead of disability or handicap.
And that is what it is. Every one learns differently.
Yeah that kid is definitely different. 1:23:38 there's no way I would've ever spoke those words to my grandparents.
During my childhood I had a lot of headaches. So it was hard for me to learn. But if you want it you can get it. 👍
The teacher DID call it an “invisible handicap.” That enraged me.
after watching, i tried to do a research on the casts. it surprised me that kirk douglas died 2 yrs ago today (feb 05). what a legend.
For those of you who missed this the first time around - heartwarming and definitely worth watching! Thanks JW!😊
Yeah, that was a sweet story 😊
I did enjoy mashed potatoes not porridge. lol
Watching on June 16 2021 my twin boys birthday . 29 years old today . So much love to everyone . Unfortunately one son lives in Florida and the other New York . I’m sad but happy because they are employed and have wonderful friends , thank goodness for FaceTime . 💕
Great movie about a young child with Dyslexia a lot of people have it and have not been tested for it is a common disability that should not be considered shameful and if you think your child has it get them tested for it great movie and good acters going to give this movie a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars ....👏....👏....👏....🌝🌝
This is the second time I watched this movie, He was an amazing actor ~ Thank you !
The Best Kirk Douglas movie I've ever watched, Thank you for sharing this on You Tube and Thank God He led me to it!!
Hello Karen,
How are you doing ?
What a beautiful moving story it just shows that with a little courage a whole lot of love anybody can overcome anything
Thank you for this SWEET Movie. I pray to God our World returns to this innocence. That is why He created "FAMILY" and also sent His Son for us. The Father loves all of You so!!!!!
This is the third movie I've watched from "Jesus wept," and all three are excellent! Thank you!
Great movie awesome cast. Kirk Douglas has always been one of my fav actors. RIP Kirk Douglas.
I could not read tell I was in my 30s. I'm 100% self-taught. I home schooled myself. Phonics.. what a miracle. If you have a child that can't read or even has a heard time, try phonics. The schools should have never done away with phonics. Sight reading does not work for all
A Beka Book phonics is excellent. If nothing else, get their "Handbook for Reading: The New Blue Backed Speller." They also have flash cards, readers, and workbooks. But if you get nothing else, get that one book that contains all the information. I have nothing to gain, but I share my experience with you.
Also School of Tomorrow has an amazing (and easy to teach) phonics program
I am really glad that so many people are realising that people just have different ways of learning.
Michelle Castaneda ...so very true! Some of today’s teachers need to be re educated. When I used to volunteer with reading, first thing I noticed was this little boy who kept covering one eye and then the other. I was curious, so I asked his teacher if he could be tested for dyslexia. Indeed , the child was tested and he did have dyslexia. Afterwards the experts took over.
He did well after that. 😀
@@pennypiper7382 That's amazing.
Beautiful...it made me cry! Lessons we all can learn and be supportive! Nothing is impossible if u have determination. I know of a church member by teaching himself was able to repair computers.
I sometimes wonder what happened to the children before dyslexia was recognised in children? many times labelled as dumb.
This channel has marvelous movies made to relax and entertain the heart. It's a very painful day for me I have lupus and mixed connective tissue disease. This new found channel will help me today to try and ignore the pain. Thanks to whomever owns this channel.
Thanks so much for sharing , this was a great family Movie the fact that he told the Truth eventually and everyone Respected that and stood by him. Thanks
kurt douglas lived to be 103. thats pretty amazing
Powerful, beautiful, touching and challenging. Thank you!
great movie, i also suffer from dyslexia. when i was dianosed with it when i was 8, back then it was unheard of and there was no speacil classes back in the 70's. not like today.
Alimoo1971, my oldest son was diagnosed in early 80’ and now after all the years of frustrations, I’m looking at my hubby as I watch this movie and see maybe why I have to explain to him over and over, how to use his phone, read directions and write checks for him etc...even his over reacting over silly things is troubling me now. After a few fist pumping meltdowns in the past, I suggested he see a doctor...nothing doing...😔
@@angelasenisi9168 I've spoke to my family and that they can remember that there no one in the family who had dyslexia, i'm the first. As for your husband do you think he might have it?
Alimoo1971, I’m no longer doubting it...When I pointed things out to our daughter, she would say that he’s just getting old, except he’s always been this way. Unfortunately recognition came too late.. Take care...
I really enjoyed this movie.Good family movie,great acting.Loved the close relationship between grandfather and geandson..Alot of good issues were brought up..
A good movie worth seeing a 2nd time. A very good family movie.
The late Kirk Douglas: a great actor and a hunk!
Deslexia needs to be dealt with immediately, especially if you have Deslexia...time and learning is the cure and to be patient when teaching! It will all work out, in time! Great movie.
How long has this boy been at school, not one teacher has noticed that he can not read......... that's teachers for you.
Excellent family drama! Heartwarming! Thank you very much!
Thanks for your movies, so profound and relevant to real life challenges. Keep up the good work 👌👌
Love 💕 Love 💗 Love ❤️ Kirk Douglas 🦚🍒Miss him so much 🗽 Thank you for sharing 🍇🍎❄️🦩
His Son, Michael Douglas, hasn't all the 'Star Presence as an Brilliant Actor and Humble, Wise Man, that Kirk Douglas, his Father, Forever has and is still remenber, untill actual days📹🎬💯📽on the oposite of MD: is only my own opinion🙋♀️🇵🇹
wow...kinda like my family story. My cousin couldn't read either and they wanted to fail him, so MY MOM intervened and promised to TEACH him to read during the summer months...AND SHE DID and he learned. He was in grade 3 and didn't read hardly at all, because he was lazy and has ADHD. Well he learned to read and entered 4th grade and then eventually went to college. He didn't fail schooling at least, but the ADHD is still very tough for my cousin who is now in his 50's.
My oldest son had dyslexia but that didn't stop him from being one of the best Machinist the was. Very good show.
I love this movie ! It so good and has such an inspirational message, definitely inspires you to believe in yourself .
I'm in tears. What a great movie.
Kirk Douglas was sooo handsome. RIP.
Life does seem so peaceful and simple. Those days are so long ago.
Those movies that are so nice gives one moments of happiness no matter what is going on the world!
Thanks so much for those moves you put some smile in my life.
WOW! thank you for posting this movie. It comes from the heart!
At 10.54 on the movie, however Kirk Douglas still is a Wise, Admarible, Humble, True, Charming, Pure Man and Human Being👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽From an Incondional Fan🙋♀️🇵🇹
Hello Carla,
How are you doing ?
This was a wonderful film.
Thanks for the upload.
My kids were forbidden to say ''I hate you ''. It's such an extreme word that's painful and untruthful for a child to use in most cases. Good movie.
This was such a great movie & at 75, I can’t believe I never saw it before.
Absolutely loved the film. It also helped me to realize that I have had a mild form of dyslexia. : )
Catherine Reaburn , me too
Incredibly beautiful motion art presented to touch on such a sensitive issue of human disability !!
🥰👌👌👍
filmed in nova scotia, Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg and Chester and tavern in Chester, not sure where harvesting cranberries maybe on island off Chester, row boat that went by is called a dory
I love your taste in movies. When I need a good movie to watch, I check your channel first. (even before I look on Netflix)
Excellent movie! Thank you for posting it!
"I hate you grandpa. You're just a liar"... How crazy. Have any of you said that to your grandparent before? Little brat 1:23:38
I also grew up with severe dyslexia. They decided I was retarded, and they had me tested to find out how bad it was. My IQ came out at 134 verbal, and 154 inductive -- Average: 144.
My dad about shit bricks, This was in the 1950s and early 1960s, and The concept of learning disabilities was basically ignored or unknown. I would have thought the serious speech impediment that prevented me from pronouncing long "E"s like those in cheese and the long "E" in my own name would have been a clue...It wasn't.
(I was 11 or twelve years old before I could say either word out loud.)
simple and beautifully told social drama story.
Throughly enjoyed..A+ movie
Nice to see a movie about reading problems
Dyslexia I helped my friend learn to read with this, handicapp no more. She now sits around and reads. I love it. I believe it comes from the Adrenal glands. Mine is out of wack and I type backwards and strange letter combos why I think it is from the adrenal gland. RIP Nancy. Love you girlfriend. Cancer in esophagus, passed over at 34 yrears old. See the years word ? I type usually only to family to much timeto tix and correct. They know I'm not going to edit. To much work.
Super actor Mr Douglass.....I have learned a lot from him
A good movie. Shame how we let our pride get in the way of living.
Wonderful movie !!!! Love Kirk Douglas !!!
Thank you, for this touching portrayal of overcoming!
“It was porridge ?It could be mashed potatoes.”💖💖💖
This is how I perfected; "ME"! Best teacher ever.
Awesome movie, couldn't see through my tears toward the end 👌👌👌
A great film of Kirk Douglas but if you could always remember this I'm Spartacus of 1960 that was one hell of a film and Kirk said it too
I'm roommates with Bruce's son and Bruce told me about this film when I was watching Lust for Life
Enjoyed the movie very much. Thank you.
A beautiful story with a fantastic ending 😍
Wow! This movie was a great movie. I enjoyed this movie very much & thank U for uploading this movie.
Dyslexia is no letal desease. One can find help. Even the king of Sweden has it.
In former times you baked cookies.
I had a learning problems in school. Back then they didn't know about learning disabilities. My teacher hit me because I couldn't read in third grade.
I had a dizziness because she hit me.
Such a wonderful movie
Thank you for sharing this film !It holds great value!
I like old Kirk, good natural actor, very believable.
What is it with people and spoiled rotten kids that they don't want to forgive? They want to be heard when troubled times come up? What are parents teaching? MATTHEW 6: 14,15..
Too bad our movies weren't more like this. Our young people would learn about morals, values and community. Feel good content.
Remember, all reading difficulties are not caused by dyslexia, even if one is found to qualify as have a Learning Disability. Phonics instruction, 1:1, with alternative memory techniques, often opens the door with dyslexics but once that initial breakthrough, there are many parts to understanding what is read.
Thanks for sharing it! I always enjoy watching Great Movies though. 👍👌👏
An of course, I'm a subscriber!
Thanks Again Though.
Thanks for this beautiful movie...really enjoy watching it
