YouTube in the Primary Classroom
Did you know that YouTube has some great video clips for younger students? I ran across a few recently that are perfect for primary grade classrooms.
Q Without U: http://www.youtube.com/user/BTLfanatic#p/c/9/5yqcZRjSGKI
When Two Vowels Go Walking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fb3Pdt8kxg
Both of those are from the Between the Lions channel, which is at: http://www.youtube.com/user/BTLfanatic#p/
A couple more videos you might find useful are:
Come to the Carpet song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd5xLpGRvVo
If You Want to Get the Teacher’s Attention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8Cp-fQnujA
Those two are from Mr. Harry’s Kindergarten channel. Don’t let the name fool you, there are some great videos for students well beyond Kindergarten, too. The channel is at: http://www.youtube.com/user/HarryKindergarten
FYI, another site with videos (not YouTube) is Mr. Thorne Does Phonics, which is at: http://www.mrthorne.com. It’s out of the UK though, so there’s the whole accent issue. It’s still worth a look.
Have you found any other YouTube channels that are helpful in the primary classroom? Share them in the comments!

I really would like to thank you for posting this because I have never even considered looking up videos on youtube for teaching instruction. I am a student at the University of South Alabama and I am studying to become a teacher, this information will be really useful to me.

Mrs. Carnevale,
Thank you so much for posting the great videos! I didn’t realize those were out there. I am looking forward to sharing them with my younger kids as well as my future students. I especially loved, ” When two vowels go walking.” The educational benefit to watching videos is that you don’t always have to do the talking and it gives the kids a break from the routine. Seeing these makes me excited about my future as an educator.
I am leaving a summary on my blog about the last few posts you have made, feel free to check it out.
Thanks again,
Kelly Evans

Hi Ann,
I am Justin Hyde, and I attend the University Of South Alabama, and I am in Dr. Strange’s EDM 310 class. I think that using YouTube in todays classroom is a great idea. More teachers in todays society need to be more acceptable of technology in schools and this is just one of many quick and easy ways to do this. There are many educational videos on YouTube for children of many different ages.
