This 1956 educational film presents research on motion pictures as teaching tools from early reading through high school. It argues that concrete visual and auditory experiences prepare children to understand printed words and difficult or distant subjects. Studies report improved reading, discussion, independent reading, vocabulary, learning gains, and retention, especially in science and music.
