 Taare Zameen Par is a story about a child that
instantly hits every adult and child alike. The movie
is simple and inspiring portraying the adults as the
victims of ignorance. Released in 2007, the film
was produced by Aamir Khan Productions with
Aamir Khan and Darsheel Safary playing the lead
roles. This promising flick won several awards on
national and international level. The story revolves
around a young boy who suffers a lot until a
teacher identifies his problem as dyslexia. On the
event of Children's Day, this movie will largely
serve as a learning lesson for kids, parents and
teachers alike. Surely a not-to-miss flick!
 Dyslexia, also known as reading disorder, is characterized by trouble
with reading unrelated to problems with overall intelligence. Different
people are affected to varying degrees. Problems may include
difficulties in spelling words, reading quickly, writing words, "sounding
out" words in the head, pronouncing words when reading aloud and
understanding what one reads. Often these difficulties are first
noticed at school. The difficulties are involuntary and people with this
disorder have an unaffected desire to learn.
 In early childhood, symptoms that correlate
with a later diagnosis of dyslexia
include delayed onset of speech, difficulty
distinguishing left from right, difficulty with
direction, as well as being easily distracted by
background noise. The reversal of letters or
words and mirror writing are behavior
sometimes seen in people with dyslexia, but are
not considered to be defining characteristics
of the disorder.
 Several techniques and strategies are used to help
people with dyslexia. These include taping lectures
rather than writing notes, listening to books on
tape rather than reading them, using flash cards,
and using computer software to check spelling and
grammar.
 Treatment may involve time spent with speech and
language therapists, tutors, and special education
teachers. With support, most children with
dyslexia adjust to their learning disability and
remain in a regular classroom. Some may require
special education.
 Ishaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is
filled with wonders that no one else seems to
appreciate; colours, fish, dogs and kites are just
not important in the world of adults, who are much
more interested in things like homework, marks and
neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get
anything right in class. When he gets into far more
trouble than his parents can handle, he is packed
off to a boarding school to 'be disciplined'. Things
are no different at his new school, and Ishaan has
to contend with the added trauma of separation
from his family.
 One day a new art teacher bursts onto the
scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who infects the
students with joy and optimism. He breaks all
the rules of 'how things are done' by asking
them to think, dream and imagine, and all the
children respond with enthusiasm, all except
Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is
very unhappy, and he sets out to discover why.
With time, patience and care, he ultimately
helps Ishaan find himself.
