Cuerdas After your children watch one of these movies, have them answer WH-questions, retell the story in their own words, or write their own summary. Focus on sequencing events, story elements, character analysis, perspective taking, speech sounds, or whatever the child could improve. Here are links to example templates for you to use if you'd like: WH-Questions Story Sequencing Story Map-- Easier Version Story Map-- Harder Version Character Analysis--Easier Version Character Analysis--Harder Version If you are an SLP and would love more details or more resources for utilizing animated short videos, check out this website:

About Me
I have been a speech-language pathologist at Portland Public Schools since 2002. I have worked with kids from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade. Before becoming an SLP, I was an English as a Second/Foreign Language teacher and studied Linguistics. I love traveling, meeting people, and trying to learn languages.
I speak (or used to speak!) Japanese, French, and some Spanish. I have lived all over the place, including Oregon, Hawaii, Japan, China, Togo, and Palau. I have two teenagers. Send help. (lol JK)
