There is nothing quite like the power of reading. Two movies capture that power - The Reader set in the post WWII 1940s is a holocaust tale and The Blind Side set in the late 2000s about homelessness and football.
Each story features the change in life that the ability to read could make and the gift that helping someone unlock the ideas, lessons and stories that words make possible. Catch both of these films and think about how reading for yourself and helping another to learn to read can change a life and yours.
