Using Videos To Work On Vocabulary

Hallie Sherman
About this episode

Let’s talk about one of my favorite tools to use in my speech room- videos! 


Videos are motivating, require zero prep, and can easily adapt to any goal. In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I’m sharing how you can use this versatile resource to target vocabulary goals. 


Topics covered in this episode include:

  • My favorite videos and resources to work on vocabulary with speech students
  • How to use these videos effectively in your speech sessions 
  • Why I love using wordless videos to work on vocabulary 
  • Why modeling is so important for helping students grasp their tier 2 words


Tune in to hear all of my best tips and strategies for using videos to help your students soar past their goals!

Check out the research mentioned in the episode: 

Research stresses the importance of students mastering a significant amount of Tier 2 words to be academically successful.

(Blachowicz, Fisher, Ogle, & Taffe, 2013; Marzano, 2004)

Words should not be taught as “lists”, but rather how the words relate to the content and to each other because instruction without context has usually been found to be ineffective

(Roseberry-McKibbin, 2013)

“. . .targeting vocabulary in secondary-aged children with vocabulary difficulties could potentially help their access to the curriculum and, hence, their future academic attainment, employment prospects and mental health.”

– Wright et al., 2017
