This section of the website automatically takes you to the YouTube channel for The Balanced Literacy Diet. This is a tremendous resource for new and veteran teachers looking for examples and information regarding concepts and strategies. It provides a visual and auditory path for learners to gain their information as oppose to just reading text. The video format allows teachers, parents and administrators to watch short 2 to 3 minute videos that will help them gain information and insight into literacy and the strategies/concepts being used.
Videos allow teachers to bookmark, email or watch the content on smartphones/laptops/tablets providing them with the freedom to engage with their personal learning where and when they like.
Ensuring a majority of the content is available through video that show concrete examples provides teachers the opportunity to create holistic environments for their students because their learning is significantly easier when the content is easily read and/or viewed.
