Thanks to the Huffington Post for posting the beautiful video of “The Snowman.” huff.to/1teuOJK You may need to copy/paste the link. It will be worth the effort.
Use this great video to elicit excellent language. And what a lesson in nonverbal communication! Use it to point out facial expressions and gestures. For word finders, make a note of any words that are difficult to retrieve. Then ask for a “word finding 5”: Have your child say the word 5 times, ask him to create an original sentence using the word, then earn a “high 5.”
