Early Literacy Videos

These videos are from Montessori and are just perfect for the emergent reader who can benefit from visual animation and audio. Seeing the words highlighted across the bottom of the online video story will certainly help build fluency. The set that I found are at http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=montessorihome . What I liked best was the ability to show these videos full screen which gets rid of all of the advertisements or any visual distractions. These are coming through You Tube - extremely worthwhile and not in any way a threat to online safety. Hopefully, You Tube is not being blocked from your school! Make these videos part of your argument for "unblocking" if that is the case.
