A Short clip of "Signing Time"
I currently work in a special education school as an aide for the summer and in the classroom I work in, the students watch a half hour show called "Signing Time" for the non-verbal and even verbal students learn some words in ASL. By watching it with them, I have learned some words myself. The sing-a-longs are very catchy and repetitive; it's easy for students to pick up on. I would definitely use the "Signing Time" series in my classroom to facilitate communication and give students the opportunity to learn an additional language.
ABC Simple Spelling
This video broke down the sounds of letters, especially of the vowel "e" when it is alone or along with another "e". Then the video continues by trying to construct the word "tree", but does it wrong several times first, sounds it out, and then finally shows the final product and how it should sound. It is a cute way to teach phonetics and to kindly quiz children on their pronunciation.
The Spanish Sing-a-long I never forgot!
I had heard this song almost five years ago and is one of the songs that always stuck to me. It is catchy and pretty fun to listen to. It was used on high schoolers (which at the time was a bit juvenile), but I can recite the Spanish alphabet in rhythmic form now. If i could remember it as a high schooler, I believe that this can be a nice introduction for students starting to learn the Spanish language an easy way to remember their new alphabet.
