Using Video Clips In Speech Therapy!
Many speech students are visual learners and have a heard time making connections with information presented in the academic classroom. I have used video clips found through YouTube to help my students make these connections. When I know what the students are learning in their classrooms, I like to find a fun clip related to pop culture or just a catchy tune to help them make these connections. I help them understand why the humor in some TV shows/movies are funny if they understand the connections. Below are some of my favorites to use!
Do you have students reading "Of Mice & Men?" They will love this video clip from FRIENDS.

I work in a Title 1 school, so most of my students come from very impacted families, both in terms of socio-economics and language exposure/use (most are also ESOL). Right now, I have my 4th graders watching clips from the original "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." We've been working on holiday vocab, expressive language, sentence formulation, etc. It's amazing how well they can use the vocabulary ONCE they've seen it in action vs. just discuss it or look at pictures of it. A few weeks ago, they had no idea what a reindeer even was and now they can sequence the story, discuss the problem/solutions, etc. It's been awesome! And we're watching "Rudolph" - it doesn't get much better than that!
