Animations for Literacy

October 15, 2009

I have been on a hunt for online animations to use in Literacy teaching and have come across some fantastic ones.  They are all available on YouTube and sometimes on other hosting sites as well. The easiest way to use the animations is to download them.

My all time favourite has to be Father and Daughter by Michael Dudok de Wit.  You can also see it here.

Oktapodi directed by Julien Bocabeille and Francois-Xavier Chanioux made me laugh out loud.  It reminds me of Finding Nemo.  See it here and if you can’t access YouTube try here.

I am becoming a little obsessed with animations made using sticky notes.  Yellow Sticky Notes by Jeff Chiba Stearn is wonderful.  Thi s would be a more interesting outcome for the Yr6 unit on biography and autobiography.

To see all the animations that I am collecting go to our YouTube channel and subscribe so that you are notified when new video is added.
