“A picture is worth a thousand words.”

A reminder that actions can speak to children louder than words.

 

Wordless videos are fantastic stimuli for teaching and learning. They engage children and encourage them to build important literacy skills, such as: vocabulary, speaking and listening, deduction, interpretation, prediction, and problem solving.

 

Here are some wonderful wordless videos to use to stimulate inquiry in your pupils:
