WHY TEACH WITH SHORT FILMS? Allowing students to learn about literary elements using short films alleviates some learning blocks that struggling readers and students with attention disorders experience. Separating knowledge of literature from reading comprehension helps students learn more effectively and enjoyably, which will ultimately improve reading skills. Students of all levels benefit from learning in manageable chunks.
