TOPIC- INDIAN CINEMA: TAARE ZAMEEN PAR

Taare Zameen Par is a 2007 Indian Hindi-language drama film produced and directed
by Aamir Khan. This movie explores themes of creativity, individuality, and the
struggles of a child named Ishaan.
Children need to watch the movie and answer the following questions in 150-200
words.
1. In this movie, what learning difficulty did Ishaan struggle with?
2. What are some common signs of this specific learning disorder in children?
3. Give two more examples of learning disorders other than the disorder shown in
this movie.
4. State any two methods which were followed by Ram Shankar Nikumbh in this
movie to overcome Ishaan’s learning disorder?
5. What steps can you take to help a friend of yours, who is suffering from this type
of learning disorder?
Children need to paste any four pictures depicting the symptoms of any four learning
disorders.
1. In this movie, what learning difficulty did Ishaan struggle with?
Ishaan struggled with dyslexia, a specific learning disorder that primarily affects
reading, writing, and spelling. Despite having normal intelligence and creativity, he
found it unusually hard to decode written words, which affected his performance in
school and led to emotional distress.
2. What are some common signs of this specific learning disorder in
children?
• Reversing or mixing up letters (e.g., confusing “b” and “d”).
• Slow and effortful reading with frequent pauses or skipped words.
• Poor spelling and difficulty connecting sounds to letters.
• Trouble following written instructions and expressing thoughts on paper.
• Avoidance of reading-related tasks and early signs of frustration with schoolwork.
3. Give two more examples of learning disorders other than the disorder
shown in this movie.
• Dyscalculia – A learning disorder that involves difficulty with numbers,
understanding mathematical concepts, telling time, or remembering sequences.
• Dysgraphia – A disorder related to written expression. It affects handwriting,
spelling, and organizing ideas on paper. Children with dysgraphia may have messy
handwriting and difficulty putting thoughts into written words.
4. State any two methods which were followed by Ram Shankar Nikumbh in
this movie to overcome Ishaan’s learning disorder?
Ram Shankar Nikumbh, Ishaan’s art teacher, used creative and empathetic
teaching methods tailored to Ishaan’s needs.
• Art and play-based learning: He turned letters into fun, tactile experiences by
encouraging Ishaan to write in sand, use paint, and draw.
• Multi-sensory instruction: He used clay, flashcards, storytelling, and movement
to help Ishaan connect sounds with letters and build confidence step-by-step.
5. What steps can you take to help a friend of yours, who is suffering from
this type of learning disorder?
If you know someone with dyslexia, be patient and supportive. Avoid criticism and
offer to help in practical ways, like reading aloud, proofreading, or assisting with study
schedules. Celebrate their strengths, such as creativity or problem-solving skills, and
encourage them to use tools like audiobooks or speech-to-text apps. Most
importantly, let them know they are not alone, and that learning differently is not a
limitation.
